Dodgers News: Tyler Glasnow Optimistic Behind New Mechanics & Curveball Grip
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers traded for Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays and promptly signed him to a five-year, $136.5 million extension. However, his 2024 season ended early due to right elbow tendinitis, a concern the Dodgers had prior to the trade. Glasnow has since adopted a new training approach to enhance his health and performance, focusing on refining his curveball grip and adjusting his delivery. His goal is to trust his athleticism more and shift away from being robotic in his mechanics as he prepares for the 2025 season.
"I think over the last couple years it's gotten more slurvey, and I've changed the grip on it a little bit to try and spike it to keep it a little more vertical. And just the confidence with it has gone up a lot."
"I'm more external focus. If I'm trying to bury a slider, I'm like, 'Alright, I need to go bury a slider.' As opposed to being, 'How did that last one feel? It felt a little rotational.'"
