Blade Tidwell is a San Francisco Giants SP projected for 96 fantasy points on 56.7 IP, 46 K, 4.4 ERA, 1.182 WHIP, 1 SV by the managr projection engine. Monte-Carlo outcome odds put an elite season at 0% and a bust at 19%.
Projection snapshot: 2026-09-28. Rebuilt daily.
Blade Tidwell's 2026 projection is built on 57 innings as a starter.
Tidwell's one season with meaningful innings came in 2026 at age 25: 57 innings with 46 strikeouts. A single season is a thin base for a projection.
In 2026, Tidwell's 4.45 ERA sat close to a 4.27 expected ERA, so the runs allowed matched the quality of contact.
Tracking data from 2026: Tidwell struck out 19.6% of batters and walked 8.9%, a strikeout-minus-walk rate of 10.7 points, and hitters missed on 23.1% of their swings. Contact against Tidwell averaged 88.4 mph off the bat, with a 10.5% barrel rate.
Recent pitch tracking flags Tidwell's arsenal as trending down. Over the last 325 pitches, the whiff rate sits 2 points below and the called-strike-plus-whiff rate sits 2 points below Tidwell's own baseline. The engine applies a -4% adjustment to the rest-of-season projection for a move this size; the full-season projection is untouched.
Tidwell's projected range runs from a 96-point floor to a 154-point upside, around a 96-point median: a spread of 58 points, or 60% of the median.
By statistical profile, the closest comparisons to Tidwell on the board are Danny Young, Mick Abel and Luinder Avila.
At 25, Tidwell is early in the typical pitcher development arc, and the multi-year valuation adds weight for expected growth.

Final Value = Raw Projection × MasterConfidence × TeamContext. Each layer answers one question - no overlap.
Recency weighting: prior seasons contribute by recency (more recent = more weight) and sample size (more PA = more weight).
Shrinkage: observed rates regress toward position-specific population means by an amount inversely proportional to sample size. Catches small-sample outliers.
Quality-of-contact adjustments: xwOBA, barrel rate, and bat-tracking metrics replace luck-driven outcome stats with skill-driven ones.
PT modeling: projected PA is anchored to workload tier (full-time, regular, platoon, backup catcher) using historical role distributions.
Monte Carlo: N simulated seasons per player using projected mean + uncertainty, producing P10 / P50 / P90 distribution and bust%.
Confidence layers: four orthogonal multipliers: Roster (depth chart), Role (PT certainty), Sample (career PA), Market (consensus alignment). The Audit tab shows all four for every player.
VAR: Value Above Replacement at the player's primary position. Replacement levels are floored per position so SS scarcity doesn't artificially inflate stable middle infielders.
