Blade Tidwell is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Blade Tidwell, SP, New York Mets
ANALYSIS: After a strong year for Tennessee (as they had one of the best years in the program's history), Tidwell was the second-round selection of the Mets in 2022. He struck out 11 in 9 2/3 innings in his pro debut, flashing a dominant fastball at its best.
The Mets sent Tidwell to High-A to open in 2023, and he had a strong season there before moving up to Double-A to open August. His season line is a 3.18 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 93 1/3 innings, with a 121/50 K/BB ratio.
Tidwell has the ideal size for a big-league starter, standing 6'4" with a wide shoulder base. He works with a mid-90s fastball that can touch triple digits and pairs it with a plus slider and a pair of below-average pitches in his curve and change.
VERDICT: Tidwell struggles with a consistent third pitch and his command, which portends a future reliever. Due to that, he's best left only to deep dynasty right now.
