1. 2B Orelvis Martinez | 23 | MLB | 2024

Power will never be a problem for a 5’11” 200 pound Martinez, whose occasional swing-and-miss issues need to be viewed in the context of playing mostly against older players. He was playing well in 2024 and forced his way into Toronto’s lineup at second base just before getting suspended 80 games for PEDs. He had hit 17 home runs with a 23.8 percent strikeout rate in 74 Triple-A games, but projecting his future is a trickier task now under the PED cloud. I tend to avoid these guys altogether, a strategy I’ve never regretted.

1. LHP Ricky Tiedemann | 21 | AAA | 2024

A low three-quarters release and blistering fastball make Tiedemann a tough look for batters from either side of the plate. He hasn’t pitched much, and he posted a 5.06 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 32 Double-A in 2023, but his FIP was 2.12, which suggests he was better than his outcomes and also that FIP is pretty dumb. You can’t really post a 1.50 WHIP across 32 innings and chalk that up to fielding issues. Anywho, the 6’4” 220 lb twirler dealt with injuries throughout the year and picked up some extra innings in the Arizona Fall League, picking up 23 strikeouts in 18 innings with a 1.11 WHIP. If healthy, he’ll be part of the rotation picture early in 2024.
