Ricky Tiedemann is a fantasy baseball draft sleeper prospect pitcher, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Tiedemann as an undervalued SP in fantasy drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 372
CURRENT ADP: ~390 overall
ANALYSIS: The hype surrounding the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect is building towards a fever pitch. The hard-throwing lefty also features a sharp, biting slider, and a plus changeup. His minor league numbers are pretty incredible; however, he's thrown only 78 and 44 innings in his two years in the Jays system.

His stuff isn't in question, it's more about reigning it in as he had 13% and 14% walk rates in Double-A and Triple-A, respectively, last season. Alek Manoah was the projected fifth starter for Toronto, but he was just dreadful last year, had a terrible first start this spring, and is now out with an injury.
If Manoah or Bowden Francis can't be a serviceable fifth starter, fans will be clamoring for Ricky to come up and make his debut. But Toronto is likely going to want to manage his innings, so that's really going to cap his upside in redraft formats. If Tiedemann looks good at Triple-A, we could see him up with Toronto by June and he's worth a stash this late in drafts if that scenario plays out.
