"If he had 500 at-bats, five hits maybe": Tyler Glasnow responds to Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons’ comment on hitting .200 in MLB

Los Angeles Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow was direct in his assessment of claims made by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. Last week, Parsons was asked how many hits he could get in the majors, to which he said he could hit .200. Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud was also part of the conversation and he was quick to shut Parsons down, saying "delusion at its finest."

Chris Rose, on his podcast, asked Glasnow about Parsons thinking he can hit .200 in the big leagues. Glasnow first asked if he had played baseball before, to which Rose said no. This led Glasnow to say that Parsons, at best, could hit .01.

"If he had 500 at-bats, five hits, maybe," Glasnow said. "I think once he steps in and sees like a big league (pitch), he'd be like, 'Oh never mind.'"

Going by what Tyler Glasnow said, Parsons hitting .01 would make him the worst baseball hitter among all qualified hitters this season. Mitch Garver, as of now, holds the worst average (.176) among all qualified major league hitters.

NFL players agree hitting baseball is the hardest

Some NFL players agree on the fact that hitting the baseball is one of the hardest things to do. The list includes two of the biggest names in the current football landscape: Deion Sanders and Patrick Mahomes.

Last year, when the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was asked about hitting the baseball, he said:

“Hitting a baseball has got to be one of the toughest things to do in the world.”

Super Bowl Champion and one player who has also been to a World Series, Deion Sanders, also thinks along the same lines:

"Hitting a baseball ain't no joke," he said.

Six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan also affirms the fact that hitting the 'damn' baseball is one of the hardest things to do.

Tyler Glasnow on his latest start against the Yankees

The Dodgers were fresh off winning the first two games of the series against the Yankees but couldn't manage to sweep them on Sunday.

Tyler Glasnow was on the mound for the Dodgers, and he surrendered five runs on eight hits, including two homers, over six innings despite registering 12 Ks.

“I thought the stuff was okay,” Glasnow said of his outing. “I just think in bad counts, bad pitches right over the zone. Just in guys’ zones that you’re not supposed to go.”

The Yankees won the game 6-4, and Tyler Glasnow's season ERA dropped to 3.24 and now he holds a 6-5 record this season.
