“How rare is this?” “Incredible”

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow made history on Friday during a game against the Atlanta Braves. Glasnow struck out four batters in the second inning after the third hit allowed Marcel Ozuna to reach first base.

According to the Baseball Almanac, Glansnow is the 46th American League pitcher to have struck out four batters in one inning. The last player in the AL to do so before Glasnow was Domingo German, who did so on July 25, 2021.

The shooters on this list are some of the best shooters of all time honored. Walter Johnson scored four goals in one run, along with Tim Wakefield, Felix Hernandez, AJ Burnett, Phil Hughes and Zack Greinke.

Tampa Bay would have loved to hold that fourth down the next inning, given how hot the Braves have been lately. But that’s not how baseball works.

“How rare is this?” tweeted a fan.

“Unbelievable,” tweeted another fan.

MLB left Twitter wondering how rare that is. It’s amazing that Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow is only the 46th AL pitcher to do so. It just goes to show how elite MLB catchers are behind the plate.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Glasno has hit four batters in one inning. He also did this on April 23, 2021. Glasno is one of four pitchers to do so multiple times.

The Tampa Bay Rays need a healthy Tyler Glasnow

Tyler Glasnow is an important member of the Tampa Bay Rays’ rotation. That’s why it was so hard for the team last year when he only appeared in two games before he had Tommy John surgery.

He is ready to make up for the time he missed last season. Going into Friday, Glasnow had a 2-2 record with a 4.5 ERA in 36 innings pitched.

On Friday, Glasno had the Atlanta Braves on the ropes. He went 5.2 innings, gave up two runs on two hits and struck out eight batters. Looks like he left the game with an injury, so watch out for him.

With first-round injuries, losing Glasno is the last thing Tampa Bay wants to see. They’re already without Shane McClanahan, Drew Rasmussen, Shane Buzz, and Jeffrey Springs. This could be one of the most stacked courses on IL at one time.
