In forging a comparison to Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow, pitching coach Mark Prior referenced a former teammate with the Chicago Cubs.
It's not often the Dodgers can claim a pitcher like Tyler Glasnow: a power right-hander who pitches deep into games, strikes out batters with 96-mph fastballs and darting breaking balls, and generally ranks among the most difficult starters in the game a batter can face.
Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior reached back into Chicago Cubs history to find the comparison that Glasnow evoked most in his mind: Kerry Wood."He had that raw explosiveness coming out of his arm. And it’s a little bit of a similar look for me. Glass is obviously a little bit taller and a little bit more over the top. But it’s pretty impressive to see how he moves.”
Although his later seasons were frequently cut short by injuries, Wood's prime years are still well-remembered among Cubs fans. He etched his name in baseball history when he struck out a record 20 Houston Astros hitters in his fourth career start.
