Glasnow also explained what his offseason could look like during recovery and rehab.

“It healed quickly and it looks really good,” Glasnow said of his elbow. “The only thing I’ll change this season is I think I’ll keep my arm going. I’m going to do plyos starting in November and probably throw twice a week for the entire offseason. As I rise to head back into spring in December, January and February, I’m starting to get back to normal. I don’t think I’m going to take long or even a few months off from throwing this year. I’ll just keep going and try to get my tissues used to that workload.”

“I have such a long extension that I might be putting pressure on my arm,” Glasnow said. “If there are ways I can shorten certain things in my delivery, or make my delivery more efficient for each start and keep it as consistent as possible over the course of the season, then I’m going to try it. I want to get my arm in a good place to relieve some of the tension in my elbow.”
