Ricky Tiedemann Punches Out Five Over Five Innings In AFL Start
1 year agoToronto 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.
