Pirates to start Tyler Glasnow on Saturday against Braves

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow will make his first start of the 2017 season against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

What It Means:

Glasnow showcased his big arm with 28 strikeouts across 17 1/3 spring frames. He did allow 12 runs in that space, but despite his roughness, managed to win the fifth spot in the rotation on the back of his upside. The 23-year-old is worth a flier in deeper formats if he is still out there.

Our models project Glasnow to post a 4.72 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 65 strikeouts over 77.6 innings pitched in 2017.
