Ricky Tiedemann Could Return To Double-A In Three Weeks
1 year agoToronto 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.
