The pitcher’s mound is already an elevated stage.
When Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow stands out there, he pretty much looks like a giant.
Glasnow is a striking presence when he takes the hill for so many reasons.
His fastball is really fast. His curveball is really sharp. His hair has great flow.
And yeah, he’s really, really tall.
Glasnow will take the mound in Game 3 of the World Series for the Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays, and even before he winds up and fires home, he’ll be quite noticeable because of his impressive height.
