Three-Way Pitching Elevates Glazner Into Fame
Charlie Whitey Glazner of the Pittshore Pirates emerges as a rookie sensation. He ranks third on the Pirates staff in wins behind Adams and Cooper, and credits his three deliveries underhand sidearm and overhand for his success. Glazner emphasizes varied throws to keep batters off balance, noting the arm strain of using the same style. He recalls learning both overhand and underhand grips in the minors with Birmingham and sees his unique mix as key to future big league progress.
