Background: Glynn has the determination and self-discipline one would expect from a military college graduate. He holds many Virginia Military Institute records as both a pitcher and a hitter. Strengths: Glynn has four quality pitches that are all major league average to slightly above average. His slider has been his go-to pitch but he has steadily developed a curveball and changeup to go with it. His fastball is in the 90-92 mph range. With sound command of those four pitches, he's been called a "competitor deluxe" on the mound. Weaknesses: Without a single dominating pitch, Glynn has to change speeds and work both sides of the strike zone to have success. He showed great improvement in those areas in 1998. The Future: Though he has not pitched above Double-A, Glynn's polish, competitive drive and solid big league stuff could get attention in spring training. He does not have high-ceiling, No. 1 starter stuff but the Rangers would be more than happy with a Rick Helling or Brad Radke clone.
