Ricky Tiedemann #BlueJays ⚾️🧵

This is about believing the hype, swag, (un)reasonable expectations, modern pitch usage, a near-unique delivery, historical comps & what's left to work on.

Let's start here: Prospect Rankings
33rd in MLB (1st in Org)
8th-ranked pitcher (2nd LHP)
According to @baseball_ref, Tiedemann led ALL Minor League pitchers (75+ IP) with a 0.86 WHIP.

In his first pro season.

At age 19.

2.17 ERA, 117 K/29 BB.

Filthy, video game stuff & one of the things I like most about him is he carries himself like an ace.

He's got swag.
Gold chain, high socks, long hair, a sleeve of art work on his throwing arm... It all works!

But that only carries you so far.

The stuff is pure filth too.

I believe @PitchingNinja would call many of these ⚔️
