Strong, 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame with some projection left. Burned a 7.00 60-yard dash before showing the ability to drive the ball to all parts with authority in batting practice. The ability to impact the baseball derives more from barrel strength than pure twitch, with the short, upward swing proving to provide flashes of real heaviness with 100+ exits on the top end. Shows solid hands on the dirt with 3B likely the best profile considering the frame and 88 mph arm across. The arm plays from the mound, as well, with Glassman looking the part of a true two-way follow. Clean, in-line operation with full, moderate-lengthed arm action. Fastball plays with low-spin at 84-86 to set up a diving 73-75 SPL. Spun a low-70s breaking ball with shorter shape and glove side feel shown at times. In summation, the frame keeps projection on the table and he shows quality traits/actions on both sides of the ball.

+ Glassman is an interesting 2026 prospect that made big jumps at this event compared to what he did a year ago at the same event. I like him a touch ahead on the mound to this point, it is a projectable, 6-foot-3, 205 pounder with a clean arm on the backside. The delivery is athletic and balanced, and he pitched at 85-86 on the fastball with below-moderate intent. The fastball was his best controlled pitch and he also showed an upside breaking ball at 69-72 that shows slurvey shape and likely sharpens as he learns to throw it firmer. He rounded out his mix with a 73-75 mph straight change. Offensively he profiles best at 3B, with above average lateral quickness and some straight-line speed to pair (7.09 60). There is bat speed in a simple, rotational stroke with an exit that reached 97 mph. Glassman is an interesting follow, especially on the bump, and I wouldn't be surprised to see velos reaching into the upper-80s and beyond in 2025.
