Fisher Cats’ Tiedermann promoted to Triple-A

Sep. 19—The Toronto Blue Jays announced Tuesday that left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann has been promoted from the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

Tiedemann is currently the Blue Jays’ No. 1 prospect and is the No. 2 left-handed pitching prospect in minor league baseball, according to MLB.com. He is scheduled to make his Triple-A debut later this week.

The 21-year-old made his Double-A debut with the Fisher Cats on Aug. 5, 2022, and struck out 72 batters in 43 innings across 15 starts over the past two seasons.

He posted a career-high 11 strikeouts against Reading on Aug. 29 this year, recording each out by strikeout in his 3 2/3 innings on the mound.

Tiedemann also struck out every batter he faced in his 2023 season debut on April 13 against Portland, recording nine strikeouts in three innings.

Tiedemann, a Long Beach, California native, was drafted by the Blue Jays with the 91st overall selection in the third round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of Golden West Junior College.
