Sports World in Disbelief Over Rays Pitcher Bearing Striking Resemblance to Cillian Murphy

Cillian Murphy Tyler Glasnow Rays (Organization) Oppenheimer Internet Rangers

Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow earned his first win in two years on Friday night, as he gave up just one earned run on one hit while striking out six across six innings in Tampa Bay’s 8–3 win over the Rangers.

The story surrounding Glasnow’s first victory since 2021 is a good enough story on its own. The 29-year-old missed most of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, while an oblique strain held him out of the rotation for the first month and a half of the 2023 campaign. Friday marked just his third start of the season.

However, the internet didn’t focus on the stellar Glasnow outing. Instead, the internet focused on a still frame photo in which he struck quite the resemblance to Irish actor Cillian Murphy.

Murphy, who is set to star in Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming Oppenheimer and is known for his roles in The Dark Knight Trilogy and Peaky Blinders among others, certainly looks a lot like Glasnow did in the photo captured by the Codify Baseball Twitter account, and baseball fans loved every second of it.

Here are some of the best reactions to the photo of Glasnow captured on Friday night:
