Tyler Allen Glasnow (born August 23, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates' organization.

Career

Glasnow attended Hart High School in Santa Clarita, California.[1] Glasnow was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth Round of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft.[2] He broke a commitment to the University of Portland by signing with the Pirates for a $600,000 signing bonus. He made his professional debut for the Gulf Coast Pirates of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League in 2012 and also started one game for the State College Spikes of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League. In 2013, he played for the West Virginia Power of the Class A South Atlantic League.[3] He finished the season with a 2.03 earned run average (ERA) and 164 strikeouts in 111 innings.[4] His 164 strikeouts were the most strikeouts in a single season in Power franchise history, passing Will Inman's 134 in 2006.[5]

Glasnow played for the Bradenton Marauders of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in 2014.[6] After beginning the 2015 season with the Altoona Curve of the Class AA Eastern League, he sprained his ankle on May 6, and made his return on June 19 with the West Virginia Black Bears of the New York–Penn League.[7] After two starts with West Virginia, Glasnow returned to Altoona. In late July, the Pirates promoted Glasnow to the Indianapolis Indians of the Class AAA International League.[8] The Pirates considered promoting Glasnow to the major leagues in 2015, but decided against it.[9] After the 2015 season, the Pirates added Glasnow to their 40-man roster.[10]
