Tyler Glasnow (31), a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is making a case for the National League Cy Young Award after a strong start to the 2026 season. Despite a history of injuries that has limited his innings in previous seasons, Glasnow has pitched six innings in both of his first two starts, allowing just two earned runs in total. His fastball velocity has increased to 96 mph, and his expected ERA stands at 2.15, indicating promise for the season ahead. Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Glasnow's ability to handle a normal workload, which could be pivotal for his performance. Competing against notable pitchers like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Glasnow's success could significantly depend on his health and consistency throughout the season. If he can maintain his current form and the Dodgers achieve a successful season, Glasnow could emerge as a leading candidate for the prestigious award.
