At 6-foot-8, Tyler Glasnow is an imposing figure on the mound. Unsurprisingly, his height makes him dangerous on the basketball court as well.
On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates prospect posted a video on his Twitter account of him going between his legs to unleash an impressive dunk.
Due to my eligibility status I have decided to pursue my dream playing division 4 basketball in Mozambique 🇲🇿 pic.twitter.com/1kLyvsV8nH

With the video, Glasnow wrote that he has "decided to pursue my dream playing division 4 basketball in Mozambique." Fret not, Pirates fans: He wasn't actually serious.
@TGlasnow update...Not actually playing basketball in Mozambique.

Glasnow made his highly anticipated major league debut this year, going 0-2 with a 4.24 ERA in seven games (four starts). His reputation as one of baseball's top prospects seems to indicate that he shouldn't have to worry about a change in sport anytime soon.
