Breaking down Blade Tidwell's second MLB career start for Mets Former Vol pitcher Blade Tidwell by the numbers in his second career MLB start with the Mets.

JUNE 21, 2025 • USATODAY.COM

Inefficient in second start Tidwell didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Phillies, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The rookie right-hander made his second spot start of the season for the major-league club, producing nine whiffs in an abbreviated outing. Although Tidwell didn't offer New York's injury-riddled rotation much length, as he threw just 43 of his 74 pitches for strikes, he kept the ball in the yard and held a formidable Phillies lineup in check with four singles allowed. Frankie Montas (lat) appears to be on the cusp of making his season debut, but Tidwell's next turn in the rotation tentatively projects for next week at home versus Atlanta as it stands.

Frankie Montas (lat) appears to be on the cusp of making his season debut, which will likely bump Tidwell back to Triple-A Syracuse.

Officially promoted to start Friday The Mets recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Impact Tidwell has been tapped as Friday's starter against the Phillies, and the 24-year-old will hope for a better outing than his first MLB start back on May 4 against the Cardinals in which he allowed six earned runs on nine hits and three walks across 3.2 innings. Tidwell was saddled with the loss in that one and struck out just two. He's not a recommended fantasy option versus Philadelphia.

Starting Friday against Philly Tidwell will start Friday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Justin Hagenman was originally expected to draw the start, but he threw 2.2 scoreless innings of relief Thursday. That lines Tidwell up for his second career big-league start after he surrendered six earned runs across 3.2 innings May 4 against the Cardinals. The Mets have yet to officially promote Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse, but a transaction should occur Friday.

Demoted after rough MLB debut Tidwell (0-1) was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. He was charged with the loss after giving up six runs on nine hits and...

Impact The right-hander was likely to be demoted regardless of his performance in Sunday's matinee, but being optioned back to Syracuse is fitting after an ugly big-league debut. Tidwell has struggled to a 5.00 ERA through six starts with Triple-A Syracuse this year, so he may have a hard time getting another MLB opportunity in the near future.

Called up ahead of start The Mets selected Tidwell's contract from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his scheduled start in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals in St. Louis.

Impact Tidwell is likely to be in line for just one start for the big club in what will be his MLB debut before he returns to Syracuse. Over his six outings at the Triple-A level in 2025, the 23-year-old righty has delivered a 5.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB across 27 innings.

Blade Tidwell to make big league debut for Mets, start Sunday against Cardinals

Pitching prospect Blade Tidwell will be called up by the New York Mets to make his major league debut as the starter Sunday at the St. Louis Cardinals

Coming up to big leagues The Mets will call up Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse during their weekend series in St. Louis, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact The Mets do not yet have a probable pitcher listed for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, and it sounds like Tidwell is set to make his major-league debut that day. Tidwell has posted a 5.00 ERA in his first six starts with Syracuse this season but has struck out 37 over 27 innings. It's likely to be just a spot start for the 23-year-old before he's sent back to Syracuse.

Showed better velocity this spring Tidwell topped out at 99 mph with his fastball in big-league camp this spring, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old right-hander saw his control desert him at Triple-A last season as he issued an ugly 53 walks in 85 innings, but Tidwell reported to spring training in better shape and made a strong impression with both improved command and improved velocity. If those results hold up at Triple-A Syracuse to begin the 2025 campaign, Tidwell could be among the first pitchers called up when the Mets' rotation is in need of reinforcements.

Reassigned to minors camp The Mets reassigned Tidwell to minor-league camp Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.comreports.

Impact Tidwell most recently threw two perfect innings -- one of which was an immaculate inning -- Saturday in a Grapefruit League game against the Rays. However, the 23-year-old righty finished last season with a 5.93 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 85 innings in Triple-A, so the Mets will keep him in their farm system until he can demonstrate more consistent success over an extended period of time.

Dazzles in spring start Tidwell struck out five batters over two perfect innings and recorded an immaculate inning in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact The 23-year-old right-hander needed nine pitches to strike out Josh Lowe, Eloy Jimenez and Jose Caballero in his second frame, after fanning Brandon Lowe and Christopher Morel to close out the first inning. Tidwell's prospect status tumbled last season when he was beset by control issues at Triple-A, but he posted a 2.41 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB over 37.1 innings at Double-A prior to that to earn the promotion. If Tidwell has corrected the issues that were preventing him from finding the plate consistently, he could be a factor in the Mets' big-league rotation at some point during the 2025 campaign. Per Adam Berry of MLB.com, Tidwell has trimmed his arsenal back to five pitches -- four-seam and two-seam fastballs, a changeup, a slider and a sweeper -- in an effort to put last year's stumble behind him.
