What is happening. Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You morning pitching podcast from Pitcherlist.com.

My name is Nick Pollock. Today, we are talking about the Tampa Bay Rays. And, oh, boy, is this a fun one?

Because there's a ton of really intriguing pitchers. I imagine by the time you're listening to this,

there's a chance that Tyler Glasnow is not on the Rays anymore. I'm going to talk about him here in this one.

And then I'm going to, you know, probably strip this out and add it to another one if he does get dealt.

But for overall here, Tyler Glasnow, I'm more encouraged than I was before about having it on my fantasy teams.

And why is that?

Bubba in the Bloom had a fantastic podcast.

You can go check out. Talking about the top 15 and 80p versus the next 15, that is 16 through 30,

and showcasing how there were a lot of busts inside that top 15. And it wasn't necessarily because of volume, but because of performance.

You had guys like Shane Bieber, you had Dylan Seas, which of course we weren't really encouraged about still.

We thought, yeah, Shane Bieber had 200 strikeouts a year before.

He should be a little bit better.

That's same with Dylan Seas and all that kind of stuff.

You also had like Alk Minow, but that was on the back half of it.

You had these guys that just did not produce when he had volume.

Tyler Gladysdow is not one of those. And there's something to be said about having a pitcher that, yes, I understand 120

innings last year for Glasnow was the most he's ever had in the majors.

And there was Tommy John holding him back.

There were back issues.

And it's unlikely for him to go and extended 150, 160 in the year ahead.

However, we should expect production.
