Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is recognized as one of baseball’s top pitchers.
However, a story shared during a Dodgers broadcast about how he met his girlfriend Meghan Murphy has drawn mixed reactions.
Broadcasters recounted that while Glasnow was pitching for the Rays, he spotted Murphy in the crowd and thought she looked cute. He then asked the team photographer to zoom in on her to get a better look and confirmed his initial impression. Glasnow then wrote his phone number on a baseball, threw it to her, and suggested she text him. Murphy responded by attending the next game, returning the gesture with her own number, and the two have been together for three years since.

While some might find this encounter charming and serendipitous, others may view it as inappropriate, particularly the use of a team photographer to zoom in on an unsuspecting fan. This tactic, potentially problematic if not for Glasnow’s celebrity status, highlights the peculiar dynamics at play.
Despite the controversy, Glasnow’s performance on the field continues to impress. In his first season with the Dodgers, he recently pitched seven innings against San Diego, allowing only one earned run and recording ten strikeouts. However, despite his efforts, the Dodgers lost 2-1 to San Diego after a walk-off hit by Luis Arraez.
Regardless of the debate surrounding his romantic gestures, Glasnow’s personal and professional life seems to be thriving.
