Tyler Glasnow Confirms He’ll Be Ready to Pitch in Dodgers’ Opening Series in Korea
The Dodgers’ season-opening series against the San Diego Padres is quickly approaching. In less than a month, these teams will kick off the 2024 baseball season in Seoul, South Korea.
While Andrew Friedman and the front office are still putting the finishing touches on the roster, the Dodgers are already lining up their preferred starters set for both games. In some order, Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto should take the mound for Los Angeles.
When asked about his feelings towards starting in these games and the expected workload, Glasnow told Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group that he began his preseason preparation earlier than usual in anticipation of the early start.
I’m not sure what the pitch count is or anything, but I’ll be ready for sure. It’ll be just a cool experience to go pitch in Korea. … Just to be a one or two is a great honor, for sure.

Don’t expect either pitcher to go long in the game for a couple of reasons. It’s the first series of the year for the Dodgers and Padres. Teams typically don’t have their starters fully stretched out to handle the workload of a midseason starter until a bit later on the calendar.
Second, the Dodgers and Padres are playing games about a week earlier than everyone else. After the series, the teams fly back to the States, play more spring training games, and then resume regular season play on opening day, March 28.
In his first action as a Dodger, Glasnow surrendered an earned run on four hits and struck out just one batter in 1.2 innings.
As of right now, the Dodgers have not announced a starter for their domestic opening day game against the St. Louis Cardinals in Los Angeles.
