3/18/25 | Blue Jays prospect Tiedemann making strides. Nestled in a minor-league workout area away from the big-league training fields at the Blue Jays' player development complex, Ricky Tiedemann lowers his six-foot-four 220-pound frame into a deep squat. Sporting a sleeve on his surgically repaired left arm, the highly ranked prospect is shifting weight, loosening his hips, and re-establishing pitching stances as he continues a slow buildup for what he hopes is a return to play in late summer. The 22-year-old southpaw underwent Tommy John surgery last July, a procedure that typically comes with a recovery time of 12-14 months. A 2026 return is more likely for Toronto's fourth-ranked prospect, who has dazzled in the minor leagues since being selected by the Blue Jays in the third round of the 2021 draft.

12/04/24 | Despite Injury, Ricky Tiedemann Named Top Prospect in Toronto Blue Jays Organization. On Tuesday, Baseball America released their latest top ten prospect list for the Toronto Blue Jays and even despite his injury history, left-hander Ricky Tiedemann assumed the top spot. The youngster underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this season and is slated to miss most or all of the 2025 season, but he will be back in 2026 at the age of 23. With Chris Bassitt ticketed for free agency at the end of 2025, there's already a potential rotation spot waiting for Tiedemann with the Jays upon his recovery. Beyond the Tommy John surgery, Tiedemann has dealt with other injuries since entering pro ball. Source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/news/des... |
