This announcement should come as no surprise to Blue Jays fans as both Tiedemann and Zulueta have enjoyed very strong first-half performances. In turn, they&#8217;ve each generated plenty of hype across North America.
Tiedemann, who&#8217;s ranked as Toronto&#8217;s No. 3 top prospect by <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/bluejays/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MLB.com</a>, was selected in the third round of last season&#8217;s draft. The 19-year-old opened the year at low-A Dunedin, where he posted a 1.80 ERA and 49 strikeouts across 30.0 innings, and currently resides at high-A Vancouver.
In seven starts, the left-hander has allowed eight runs, six earned, on 19 hits and eight walks while striking out 47 batters. His ERA sits at 1.64 ERA through 33.0 innings.
Zulueta, Toronto&#8217;s No. 19 top prospect, is one season removed from a torn ACL and has appeared at three different levels in 2022. The 24-year-old began his campaign in Dunedin, where he made just a trio of starts before earning a promotion to Vancouver. There, he made six starts, performing to a 3.80 ERA through 23.2 innings.
Most recently, Zulueta moved up to double-A New Hampshire, although his only start at that level lasted just 1.2 innings. Before departing, he allowed two runs on two hits and a pair of walks while recording one strikeout. A transition to the bullpen could potentially be in his future.
It&#8217;ll certainly be fascinating to watch Tiedemann and Zulueta performing against some of the best young hitters in baseball.
