TEMPE, Ariz. —
The more that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has gotten to know Tyler Glasnow this spring, the more he uses one specific adjective to describe the team’s new frontline — and potentially opening day — starting pitcher.
“Very cerebral,” Roberts said Saturday morning, describing his early impressions of Glasnow shortly before the pitcher’s spring debut with the club.
“I’ve already learned early that he does a lot of homework,” Roberts added. “He knows his strengths, what he’s good at. And he appreciates the hitters’ weaknesses as well. So, how he attacks each hitter and goes into games, it’s very evident to me that he’s very mindful.
