"I have so much trust in them, to where I don't feel like I have to do everything on my own. Now, it's just like, 'What do you guys got?' And then I go out and just do whatever they tell me. It's not as much tinkering. I can rely on them."
"Glasnow expressed to Team USA officials early in the WBC selection process that his preference this spring was to stay in Dodgers camp. He wanted to build on the progress he made at the end of last year. And he wanted to lean into the trust he had built with the team."
"Glasnow was limited to just 90.1 innings last season, primarily due to right shoulder inflammation that sidelined him for more than two months. However, Glasnow was able to get healthy down the stretch and made his biggest impact during the postseason. He posted a 1.69 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 10.5 strikeouts per nine in 21.1 innings pitched."
Five Los Angeles Dodgers players currently represent their countries in the 2026 World Baseball Classic: Will Smith (USA), Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Japan), Edwin Díaz (Puerto Rico), and Hyeseong Kim (Korea). The team had fewer representatives than initially expected due to various circumstances. Freddie Freeman chose not to participate, Miguel Rojas was declined for insurance reasons, and Kiké Hernández is recovering from elbow surgery. Tyler Glasnow also opted out, preferring to remain in Dodgers camp to prepare for the regular season. Glasnow emphasized his desire to build on his strong finish to the 2025 season and credited his success to trust and collaboration with the Dodgers coaching staff. After dealing with shoulder and elbow injuries that limited him to 90.1 innings in 2025, Glasnow performed exceptionally in the postseason with a 1.69 ERA.
