Trey Yesavage among three Blue Jays featured on BA's pre-season top 100 prospects list

"Fellow top Blue Jays prospects Arjun Nimmala and Jojo Parker were also listed among the industry's top 100 prospects, ranking 62nd and 66th, respectively. Yesavage sits as the 10th-highest ranked prospect on the list, courtesy of his 60-grade ranking from BA. Pittsburgh's Konnor Griffin is ranked the sport's No. 1 overall top prospect, slotting in ahead of Detroit's Kevin McGonigle and St. Louis' JJ Wetherholt - with that trio comprising BA's top three prospects for 2026 heading into spring training."

"Yesavage, of course, took the baseball world by storm last season, making his inclusion among the sport's top 10 best prospects for '26 an obvious choice. He dominated across all four minor-league levels in his first season of pro ball, punching out 160 batters over 98.0 innings (25 appearances) before announcing his presence at the big-league level last September, impressing in three starts with the Blue Jays."

"That rapid ascent earned the 22-year-old - who'll maintain his rookie status for next season - an opportunity on Toronto's post-season roster, and he certainly didn't disappoint - striking out 11 over 5.1 scoreless innings in Game 2 of the ALDS versus the New York Yankees, the most punchouts by a Blue Jays pitcher in a playoff game. He also shut down the Los Angeles Dodgers' star-studded lineup in Game 5 of the World Series, tossing seven innings of one-run ball with 12 strikeouts."

Yesavage is listed as the 10th-highest prospect, supported by a 60-grade from BA. Konnor Griffin is ranked the sport's No. 1 overall prospect, followed by Kevin McGonigle and JJ Wetherholt as BA's top three for 2026. Arjun Nimmala (62nd) and Jojo Parker (66th) are among the industry's top 100 prospects. Left-handed starter Johnny King received an honourable mention and narrowly missed the top 100. Yesavage dominated across four minor-league levels with 160 strikeouts in 98.0 innings, impressed in three major-league starts last September, and produced standout postseason strikeout performances. Nimmala began 2025 strongly but slumped midseason to a .173/.264/.267 clip.
