"Called up to make three starts to end the regular season, Yesavage had a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 14 innings pitched. Yesavage's playoff debut saw him strikeout 11 over five and one-third hitless innings, then he threw another gem in the World Series, going seven innings with 12 strikeouts while giving up just one earned run in Game 5. In six postseason appearances, Yesavage had a 3.58 ERA and 3.61 FIP in 27.2 innings pitched."
"Yesavage also has a slider, which is considered above-average with a 55 grade. All of that is with average command. It's also worth noting that if Yesavage wins the American League Rookie of the Year, the Blue Jays will earn a Prospect Promotion Incentive pick after the first round, as Yesavage now ranks in the top 100 of Baseball America and MLB Pipeline ."
"The 19-year-old has yet to make his debut, but has a 60-grade hit tool and a 55-grade power tool, an intriguing profile. A left-handed batter, Parker has an above average arm and may move to third base in the future. Lastly, Arjun Nimmala, the Jays' first round pick in 2023, ranks as the 77th-best prospect in baseball. MLB Pipeline gives him a grade of 60 for both his power and arm, while he has average fielding and speed, as well as a fringe hit tool."
Yesavage posted a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 14 regular-season innings, then struck out 11 in 5.1 hitless playoff innings and struck out 12 over seven innings in World Series Game 5, finishing with a 3.58 ERA and 3.61 FIP in 27.2 postseason innings. The 22-year-old's fastball grades 60, splitter 70 and slider 55 with average command. A Rookie of the Year award or future Cy Young/MVP nods could generate Prospect Promotion Incentive picks. JoJo Parker (No.45) is a 60-hit/55-power prospect who may shift to third. Arjun Nimmala (No.77) has 60 power and arm grades and slashed .224/.313/.381 with 13 homers in 543 plate appearances.
