Glasnow could compete for one of Pittsburgh's final rotation spots in 2017, especially if the team fails to sign a veteran starter in the offseason, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
The righthander posted a 4.24 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 23.1 innings in his first go-around with the Bucs. "The best thing for me this last year was going up and experiencing it, seeing how similar it was to Triple-A and how calm I felt on the mound. I'm excited to go and do it." Pitching coach Ray Searage believes Glasnow's familiarity with the big leagues will help him in 2017. "Being a young kid with God-blessed talent out the yin-yang, he's got to understand: Just let your stuff flow," Searage said. "He never really got settled, never really felt comfortable out there. ... If that does happen, you guys are going to be going, 'Holy schnikes!'"
