They\u2019re now up to 38 players on the 40-man roster.<\/p>\n<p>Tiedemann, 23, didn\u2019t pitch this past season while recovering from Tommy John surgery performed in July 2024. Be that as it may, given how highly regarded the 2021 third-rounder had become prior to that injury, he\u2019d surely have been scooped up by a non-contending club in next month\u2019s Rule 5 Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Though Tiedemann still hasn\u2019t topped the 78 2\/3 innings he pitched in his first full professional season back in 2022, he ranked among the game\u2019s top 100 prospects at Baseball America in each of the past three offseasons. He\u2019s pitched to a career 3.02 ERA in the minors and fanned a gargantuan 39.6% of his opponents. His 11.9% walk rate clearly needs refinement, but the 6\u20194\u2033, 220-pound Tiedemann carries substantial upside as a potential playoff-caliber starter or a late-game reliever with possibly elite bat-missing abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Blue Jays have selected the contract of top pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann, per a club announcement.
