"Selected 20th overall in last year's amateur draft from East Carolina University, Yesavage began the season at Class A Dunedin, was promoted to High-A Vancouver on May 20, Double-A New Hampshire on June 12 and Triple-A Buffalo on Aug. 12. He was 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in three starts in September, striking out 16 in 14 innings, helped by a devastating splitter, with seven walks."
"Yesavage beat the New York Yankees with 5 1/3 scoreless, hitless innings in Game 2 of the Division Series as he struck out 11, lost Game 2 of the AL Championship Series when he allowed five runs in four innings, then won Game 6 of the ALCS on Sunday when he gave up two runs in 5 2/3 innings."
Trey Yesavage, 22, will start Game 1 of the World Series Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Blake Snell. He made his major league debut on Sept. 15 and will be making his fourth postseason start, surpassing his three regular-season appearances. Yesavage progressed quickly after being selected 20th overall, advancing from Class A to Triple-A by Aug. 12. He went 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in three September starts, striking out 16 in 14 innings with a strong splitter. Yesavage produced 5 1/3 scoreless innings in the Division Series and won Game 6 of the ALCS. Manager John Schneider has not committed to a Game 2 starter.
