Blade Tidwell Strikes Out Nine On Sunday
New York Mets pitching prospect Blade Tidwell struck out nine batters across 4 1/3 shutout innings during his start against Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday evening. In his outing, Tidwell allowed just two hits and one free pass. This was a strong bounce-back outing for Tidwell, as he posted a modest 6.92 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP across his previous 13 innings (three starts) this season. Through 22 1/3 total innings this season with Triple-A Syracuse, the former second-round selection has held a 4.43 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. He has tallied 28 punchouts and served up just 10 free passes. Last summer, the Tennessee product spent time with Double-A before earning his first taste of Triple-A ball. During his first look at Triple-A, the right-hander held a high 5.93 ERA with a 1.56 WHIP. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status at Triple-A, as he should be in the mix for his MLB debut later this summer.
