Mark Prior Compares Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow to Chicago Cubs Legend

It's not often the Dodgers can claim a pitcher like Tyler Glasnow: a power right-hander who pitches deep into games, strikes out batters with 96-mph fastballs and darting breaking balls, and generally ranks among the most difficult starters in the game a batter can face. Walker Buehler comes to mind, though he is just now working back from a two-year hiatus due to elbow surgery. Dustin May has shown flashes of this degree of dominance over parts of five seasons, but health has been even more of an issue for him than for Buehler. In the cases of Trevor Bauer, Yu Darvish, and even Josh Beckett, their times in the organization were simply too brief — for a variety of reasons — to win over the hearts and imaginations of Dodger fans.
