Picture the Dodger Stadium, bases loaded, 3-2 count, 50,000+ fans screaming. Glasnow? Cool as ice. “Just take it one pitch at a time,” he says, and to focus on the training above all.

At the start of his career, Glasnow would try to control his nervousness but he realized overtime that putting weight into that approach was not very useful. Feelings can become a distraction, so why even dwell on them. At the end of his games, he would reflect on the outcome and the stats where he realized that the feelings he had before or after the game really didn’t impact his performance. His advice:

“Trust your training and not feel your emotions so much. You just go: I practiced this all week. I do this, I do that. You almost try and remove yourself from that. Trust your training, and not- how do I feel inside.”

This must resonate with athletes and all those in a competitive environment. Overthinking can crush performance so a more stoic approach may be best.

Growing up in Santa Clarita, California, Glasnow and his dad would watch Clayton Kershaw play. Now teammates, Kershaw’s intensity fuels Glasnow even further:

“His intensity on start date, hasn’t fizzled out at all. I think him being there for 18 years and like just caring so much about winning as a team is super obvious and apparent to me.“

Kershaw announced his retirement this year so 2025 is his last season but he’s left long lasting impressions with his teammates and the fan base overall.

Recent News- Tyler Glasnow pitched on, October 4, 2025, in Game 1 of the NLDS, coming out of the bullpen to help the Los Angeles Dodgers secure a 5-3 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies. He pitched several innings to protect the lead after the Dodgers took it, and was credited with a hold as a reliever.
