Ricky Tiedemann Faces Hitters Sunday
6 months agoToronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (hamstring) faced hitters in a simulated game in camp on Sunday and took the time to fine-tune his changeup. Tiedemann, the No. 29 overall prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, is working his way back after a minor hamstring and calf issue cost him some time early in spring training. The young southpaw looked great on Sunday and is confident he can get up to the four-inning range by the end of camp. "Hopefully, late this coming week I'll be able to get back out there in a game," Tiedemann said. The 21-year-old has some of the best stuff in the game among pitching prospects, and with both Kevin Gausman and Alek Manoah dealing with shoulder injuries, it's possible that Tiedemann could open the 2024 regular season in Toronto's starting rotation.
