We asked AI to predict how effective Tyler Glasnow will be for the Dodgers in his debut season (& its prophecy is quite bold)
The acquisition of Tyler Glasnow by the Los Angeles Dodgers has ignited speculation about the impact the towering right-hander will have in his debut season with the team. Google Bard’s artificial intelligence was weighed in on the matter, making a bold prediction for Glasnow’s 2024 season with the Dodgers.
The foremost consideration in forecasting Glasnow’s performance is his health, given his history of battling injuries, including Tommy John surgery in 2021. Assuming good health, AI predicted Glasnow’s stats for the upcoming season: 25-30 games started, 12-15 wins, a 3.20-3.50 ERA, 150-200 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.20-1.30. These numbers, while ambitious, reflect the AI’s confidence in Glasnow’s potential impact.
On the personal awards front, the AI suggested that while Glasnow may not be a Cy Young contender due to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ stacked rotation, he could be in the All-Star conversation if he dominated. Additionally, his contributions in a potential deep playoff run might earn him postseason recognition.
