Ricky Tiedemann News
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ricky Tiedemann allowed one unearned run on four hits with five strikeouts and three walks over five innings in an Arizona Fall League start on Thursday. The 21-year-old lefty is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and he's gotten off to an excellent start in the AFL so far. He has a 2.50 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 23:8 K/BB ratio over 18 innings (four starts) for Surprise. He pitched across four levels for the Blue Jays organization during the 2023 season as well and compiled a 3.68 ERA and 1.227 WHIP over just 44 innings. He'll most likely be pitching with the big league club in 2024 and is definitely a name to keep an eye on.
Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann impressed in a start on Tuesday, striking out 11 batters in just 3 2/3 innings for Double-A New Hampshire. He's struggled since returning from a shoulder/biceps injury with a 7.45 ERA, 1.97 WHIP, and .286 opponent batting average across four starts. However, he's consistently flashed electric stuff in his injury-ridden season, with his elite slider and fastball maintaining a 41.5% strikeout rate through eight starts with New Hampshire. While redraft managers can take him off file for the 2023 season, his high ceiling should keep him widely rostered in dynasty leagues.
Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (biceps) has been up to 96-97 mph during live batting practice sessions and is trending toward a return to Double-A New Hampshire in around three weeks. Toronto is being extremely cautious with their top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and they don't want to rush him back to risk losing him for even longer. The 20-year-old southpaw has plenty of upside with his high-90s fastball and swing-and-miss changeup, and he also has a work-in-progress sweeping slider as his third pitch. With plenty of build-up left this year after he returns from his biceps injury, Tiedemann is unlikely to surface for the first time in the big leagues until sometime in 2024.

Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann will likely begin the 2023 campaign with Double-A New Hampshire. He could be in line for a quick promotion to Triple-A if he can continue to build off his 2022 professional debut. In 2022, across three levels (including Double-A) and 18 starts, the twenty-year-old lefty posted a dominant 2.17 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 117 strikeouts against 29 walks in 78 2/3 innings pitched. Thanks to his breakout season in which he held opposing batters to a .149 average and .252 on-base percentage, Tiedemann quickly shot up prospect boards. He is currently the 32nd overall MLB prospect, as per MLB Pipeline. He is also the 31st-ranked prospect by Baseball America, the top Blue Jays organizational prospect, and widely considered the top left-handed MLB prospect arm. Tiedemann possesses three dominant pitches, including a plus-plus fastball and slider, with excellent control. In 2023, Tiedemann will get a good look at the Blue Jays' spring training camp to see how he fares against MLB hitting. While optimistic insiders believe he could see the majors sometime in the middle of the season should he perform well at Double-A and Triple-A, it is more likely Tiedemann will be a late-season addition to the Blue Jays roster if he gets the call. The Blue Jays have a deep starting rotation, which now includes Chris Bassitt, creating a barrier for Tiedemann. A current pre-season 669 ADP reflects this fact. Though he is a must-roster in dynasty formats, only those managers in the deepest of mixed or AL-only redraft formats should expend draft capital in the spring to hold him for four-to-five months. That said, managers should keep an eye on his progress during the season and be ready to pounce if imminent call-up rumors begin and persist.
