GLENDALE, Ariz. — Underneath strange circumstances, an acquisition of the ilk of the Dodgers’ commerce for Tyler Glasnow this offseason would have been the marquee transfer that defines a workforce’s winter.
After all, there was nothing strange concerning the Dodgers’ offseason, which was so loud and lavish that Glasnow’s arrival (and subsequent extension) kind of blended into the background, someplace behind all these cameras and microphones surrounding Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
However on Friday night time at Camelback Ranch, the Dodgers bought their first actual take a look at what Glasnow can provide L.A.’s new-look rotation. After a considerably glitchy Dodgers debut final week in opposition to the Angels, Glasnow was on level in three near-perfect innings through which he struck out 5 Guardians batters in opposition to one stroll.
“He stuffed up the zone your entire night time,” supervisor Dave Roberts stated. “As we speak, you might simply see that he had full readability.”
In a recreation the Dodgers would go on to win, 6-4, on non-roster infielder Austin Gauthier’s go-ahead grand slam within the eighth, Glasnow shone.
“I simply bought into extra of a rhythm, type of like competitors mode,” Glasnow stated afterward. “All the things felt fairly timed up right now.”
What makes Glasnow such an intimidating matchup for opposing batters is the lengthy extension he will get from his 6-foot-8 body and the way in which his four-seamer (which strikes extra like a cutter), slider and curveball are delivered from the identical airplane. This was an outing through which Glasnow’s full abilities have been on show.
“It was undoubtedly extra across the strike zone and getting forward somewhat higher,” he stated. “Higher than the primary one, for certain. Simply child steps. … It was somewhat inconsistent so far as launch level, however that’s what Spring Coaching is for.”
The curveball appeared to be of explicit emphasis to Glasnow in his first two innings of labor. The hook sometimes works as a putaway pitch within the grime, however he stated he’s tinkering with it barely in camp.
“I’m making an attempt to pop it up extra,” he stated. “But it surely’s such a strikeout pitch for me, I don’t wish to mess with the angle of it an excessive amount of. I like that it doesn’t pop up tremendous excessive out of my hand. It appears like a heater all the way in which. So long as I can maintain that, I’ll be good.”
What day by day Dodgers dialogue can be full with out point out of Ohtani?
The newly married famous person had a superb night time on the plate in opposition to the Guardians, getting his first alternative to run (somewhat than trot) the bases by going 1-for-1 with two walks and an RBI single that sliced by the right-hand facet and ate up second baseman Andrés Giménez.
Although Ohtani didn’t communicate with reporters afterward, curiosity in his each final result is so intense that a couple of dozen Japanese media members surrounded Guardians pitcher Tyler Beede exterior the visiting clubhouse to get his ideas on giving up Ohtani’s base hit.
“Shohei was actually good right now,” Roberts stated. “He appears snug. He’s taking aggressive swings within the batter’s field, he’s swinging at strikes, he’s taking balls. And so right now, one other constructive day for Shohei.”
Ohtani shall be off on Saturday. However he’ll be watched, regardless.
Kiké debuts, Kershaw arrives
There have been two acquainted sights in Dodgers camp on Friday: Clayton Kershaw within the clubhouse and Kiké Hernández within the lineup.
Hernandez made his (newest) Dodgers debut, batting fourth and enjoying middle area in opposition to the Guards. However Roberts indicated we ought to not learn an excessive amount of into the right-handed-hitting Hernández’s place project on this explicit recreation, as he nonetheless expects the left-handed-hitting James Outman to be way more than a platoon participant in middle.
“James continues to be going to play in opposition to lefties,” Roberts stated. “I don’t count on him to play all 162 video games. With Kiké, I don’t assume it impacts James. Kiké’s going to play brief, third, some left and a few middle, and possibly some second base at completely different occasions.”
Kershaw had his first official work day after signing his newest pact with the Dodgers whereas recovering from shoulder surgical procedure. He performed catch and can stay with the workforce till it departs for South Korea for the Seoul Sequence. Whereas rehabbing this season, he’ll be with the Dodgers at choose homestands.
“I do know he’s excited to be right here and round his teammates,” Roberts stated.
