Pirates Notebook: Thoughts on Tyler Glasnow, Angel Pagan, and More

BRADENTON, Fla. - This week saw Tyler Glasnow struggle with his command against the Dominican Republic World Baseball Classic team. That team is pretty much an All-Star team, but you'd still like to see Glasnow have better results in the command department.

I was very critical of Glasnow last year, saying that he wasn't ready for the big leagues due to his command issues and lack of a changeup. He is working on fixing the command with some delivery adjustments this spring, and is also working on a new grip for his changeup, which helps more to bail him out from the control issues.
