Dominates in final spring start Glasnow compiled 10 strikeouts while allowing three hits and two walks and uncorking a wild pitch over five innings in a Grapefruit League win over the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Glasnow worked up to 79 pitches in his final spring start before taking the ball Opening Day against the Marlins on Thursday and put forth what may have been his most dominant of his four spring outings. The right-hander finished Grapefruit League play with a stellar 27:7 K:BB across just 14.2 innings and has added a slider to an already highly effective fastball and curveball, laying the foundation for what might be his best season yet.

Impact The Opening Day starter also received accolades from pitching coach Kyle Snyder, who oversaw the outing, for his fastball, changeup and curveball, but the slider stood out due to the low 90s velocity Glasnow achieved with it following a tweak on his grip. The pitch also displayed more horizontal movement on it Monday than it had during a recent start against Atlanta, and Glasnow will have one more chance to refine it ahead of the regular season Saturday in his final Grapefruit League start.

Seven Ks for second straight start Glasnow recorded seven strikeouts but also allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk over four innings in a Grapefruit League win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Impact The newly minted Opening Day starter's biggest mistake came in the form of a two-run homer he surrendered to Bryan Reynolds, but Glasnow was otherwise able to miss plenty of bats for the second straight start. The big right-hander also stretched out to 76 pitches (50 strikes), keeping him right on track to open the regular season spearheading the Rays' rotation.

Gets Opening Day nod Manager Kevin Cash announced Wednesday that Glasnow will start Opening Day against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact It was expected that Glasnow would start the Rays' first game of the regular season, and Wednesday's announcement confirms he will do just that. Glasnow looked plenty ready to go in his last spring start, punching out seven batters over four scoreless frames. He will take the ball again Wednesday and likely once or twice more before the exhibition season comes to a close.

Dominates in Thursday start Glasnow recorded seven strikeouts and allowed just a hit, a walk and a wild pitch over four scoreless innings during a Grapefruit League loss to Atlanta on Thursday.

Impact Adam Berry of MLB.com reports the right-hander was as dominant as his line implies, with Glasnow utilizing his four-pitch mix to retire 11 batters in a row at one point against an Atlanta lineup replete with regulars. The presumptive staff ace heading into 2021, Glasnow stretched out to 52 pitches (34 strikes) Thursday while consistently dealing his fastball in the 97 mph-99 mph range and keeping hitters off balance with the rest of his arsenal. "I felt really good. Timing was good. I think just incorporating the slider and the changeup made everything a lot easier," Glasnow said.

Saturday's matchup canceled Glasnow will no longer start Saturday's spring game against Atlanta after the game was canceled due to inclement weather, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Glasnow's final line was far from sparkling, as he gave up two runs on two hits with three walks across 1.2 innings. However, with his first pitch already clocking 99 mph and the towering right-hander proceeding to hit 100 mph on four occasions in the first inning alone, Glasnow had the look of the staff ace he's projected to be this coming season. He also reported encouraging results from the new hybrid cutter/slider he's been developing, which averaged 86-87 mph in Monday's appearance, and manager Kevin Cash dismissed some of Glasnow's second-inning control issues by noting that the majority of his pitches were still around the strike zone.
