"Glasnow has never looked better at any stage of his career, leading all Dodger starting pitchers in fWAR, K-BB%, xFIP, and SIERA while averaging 6 2/3 innings per start."
"He has reduced his walk rate by half in 2026, improving from an 11.7 BB% last season to a much more manageable figure, while slightly increasing his strikeout rate."
"Glasnow has allowed only two homers in 33 innings, translating to a 0.55 HR/9, and is running a career-best 6.7 HR/FB%, despite a higher fly ball rate."
"This season, he has added a knuckle curveball to his repertoire, alongside his already effective curveball, and has increased his sinker/2-seamer usage."
