"The Blue Jays received a monumental performance this season from their 20th overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft, Trey Yesavage. The rookie pitched at every level of the Blue Jays' organization, including three regular-season MLB starts before pitching in pivotal postseason games. He made five starts and a relief appearance in the postseason, posting a 3.58 ERA and 12.69 strikeouts per nine innings."
"Tiedemann was selected in the third round of the 2021 draft out of Golden West Junior College. Tiedemann had solid performances in his first two minor-league seasons. He posted a 2.17 and 3.68 ERA over 78.2 innings in 2022 and 44 innings in 2023, respectively. Tiedemann missed most of the season due to a biceps injury and struggled with control when he was healthy."
"Baseball America's Number One lefty pitching prospect is Ricky Tiedemann! pic.twitter.com/paaoiEDCTW- Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) January 19, 2024 The lefty possesses a mid-90s fastball and has touched 99 mph. Control has been an issue, as evidenced by Tiedemann's 2024 strikeout-to-walk ratio of 27:16. However, his injury may have contributed to those struggles. His control was excellent in his first two minor-league years, with strikeout-to-walk ratios of 117:29 (2022) and 82:23 (2023)."
Trey Yesavage, the Blue Jays' 20th overall pick in 2024, delivered a breakout rookie season by pitching at every organizational level and contributing in the postseason. Yesavage made three regular-season MLB starts and appeared in pivotal postseason games, totaling five postseason starts and one relief appearance with a 3.58 ERA and 12.69 K/9. Ricky Tiedemann, a high-upside left-hander, posted strong ERAs in 2022 and 2023 but missed significant time due to a biceps issue and later required Tommy John surgery, causing him to miss the rest of 2024 and all of 2025. Tiedemann features a mid-90s fastball that has touched 99 mph, with control inconsistent during injury-affected performance but excellent strikeout-to-walk ratios in his healthier minor-league seasons.
