  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Abandoned by control at Triple-A

    Tidwell has a 6.15 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 67:53 K:BB in 79 innings across 18 appearances for Triple-A Syracuse.

    Tidwell's ability to throw strikes has been very poor since his promotion from Double-A on May 21, when his stock was at an all-time high (2.41 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 44 Ks in 37.1 IP at Double-A). Even after Triple-A switched from automated balls and strikes in some games to only a challenge system in late June, there have been very few signs of improvement. He had a zero-walk game July 28, but still gave up four runs in six frames. From a results standpoint, his best Triple-A start may have been his most recent one Sunday, as he struck out four and walked two over five scoreless frames. Tidwell is talented enough to still develop into a quality starting pitcher if he shows up next season with improved control and consistency, as things may have snowballed on him this year for Syracuse. If it doesn't click next year, the Mets may explore how Tidwell's fastball/slider combo plays in relief.

  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Promoted to Triple-A

    Tidwell was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Tidwell will join Syracuse after producing a 2.41 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 44 strikeouts over 37.1 innings in seven appearances, including five starts, with Double-A Binghamton this season. The 22-year-old will look to impress at Triple-A in order to earn a potential major-league promotion, which may not be far down the road.

  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Dominating at Double-A

    Tidwell has posted a 1.23 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 36:10 K:BB through 29.1 innings for Double-A Binghamton over five outings (three starts) this season.

    His last start was his best, as the 22-year-old right-hander struck out nine over eight scoreless innings Saturday against Hartford. Tidwell has incorporated a cutter into his arsenal this year along with his fastball and slider, and the results have been impressive. If Christian Scott sticks in the big-league rotation there will be a vacancy on the staff at Triple-A Syracuse, and Tidwell is making a strong case to claim it. A late-season MLB debut isn't out of the question if he keeps dominating in the high minors.

  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Moving to Double-A

    The Mets promoted Tidwell from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton on Saturday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

    The 22-year-old, who was selected 52nd overall by the Mets during last year's draft, struggled to start the season at Brooklyn with an 8.35 ERA in his first five starts, but he was dominant in his last 12 outings with a 1.56 ERA and 12.1 K/9. Tidwell has impressive strikeout potential but will need to improve his command, as he still had 4.7 BB/7 during that strong stretch at High-A.

  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Dominant at High-A

    Tidwell has a 1.56 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 85 strikeouts in 63.1 innings over his last 12 starts for High-A Brooklyn.

    Tidwell had a couple shaky outings early in the year, but he has been a machine this summer, going at least five innings in each of his last seven starts including two seven-inning outings. His power fastball/slider combination is clearly too much for High-A hitters, so he should get a bump to Double-A before the end of the season.

  • Mets' Blade Tidwell: Promoted to High-A for 2023

    Tidwell will begin the season with High-A Brooklyn, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    The 21-year-old righty made quick work of the lower levels, logging a 1.93 ERA and 1.18 WHIP between rookie and Single-A ball. Tidwell has been lauded as one of the top pitching prospects in the Mets organization, so he may be in line for another promotion during the season.
