Blade Tidwell Showing High Strikeout Potential
6 months agoNew York Mets starting pitching prospect Blade Tidwell has continued to flash high-strikeout potential this season at Double-A and is quickly emerging as a top prospect in the Mets pipeline. In 29 ⅓ innings at Double-A Binghamton, Tidwell has posted a 1.23 ERA and 0.85 WHIP with 36 strikeouts and ten walks. Last season, at Double-A, the 22-year-old struck out 41 batters in 34 ⅓ innings but posted a much higher 4.72 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. The former Tennessee Volunteer has still posted strong strikeout numbers this season but with much-improved ratios. Tidwell, who is ranked as the tenth overall prospect, should be promoted to Triple-A fairly soon and could even make a case for a late-season debut in Queens.
