Prospect Glasnow K's 6 of 7 in 'amazing' outing

SARASOTA, Fla. -- General manager Neal Huntington said it best on the first day of Spring Training: When Tyler Glasnow puts it all together, he's a fun pitcher to watch.

Glasnow had everything working in his first spring appearance on Sunday afternoon, and it looked like fun for everyone but the Orioles. The Pirates' top prospect struck out six of the seven batters he faced, allowing only one single over two electric innings.

"It was fun," said Glasnow, competing for a spot in Pittsburgh's rotation. "I felt good."

It's foolish to draw sweeping conclusions from one Spring Training appearance, especially in late February.
