Glasnow Climbs Higher Up Keith Law’s Prospect Rankings

Published:

Keith Law has posted his latest update of the top prospects in the game(for ESPN Insiders) and he now has Pittsburgh Pirates’ RHP Tyler Glasnow as the sixth best prospect in the minors. The new list includes draft picks, with Brendan Rodgers being the only 2015 pick in his top ten. The interesting thing about that placement is that Law was very high on Pirates’ first round pick Kevin Newman, ranking him only behind Rodgers in this draft class.

Glasnow was #9 back on May 26th when Law posted his top 25 rankings. That list also had Austin Meadows and Jameson Taillon, so it’s quite possible that if Law posted an updated 25, he would have four Pirates on it.

Glasnow will make a rehab start tonight for Morgantown, in a game that should also include the pro debut of Newman, as well as some other 2015 draft picks.

John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
