"Fast forward six months, and Yesavage has now thrown more innings in the postseason (19) for the Toronto Blue Jays than he did in the entire regular season (14). This rise didn't come out of nowhere. Yesavage was a consensus top-10 talent in the 2024 MLB Draft who slid to Toronto at 20th overall, a gift created by draft dynamics rather than scouting oversight. Some evaluators believed he was polished enough to start his career in Double-A."
"It's what Geoff Pontes of Baseball America had to say that really grabbed my attention. Geoff, working with BA, has access to underlying data on prospects that isn't available to the public, and he noted that while he was digging in on Sanchez under the hood, he found a lot of similarities to Junior Caminero when he was a teenager playing in the DSL while still a part of the Guardians organization."
Trey Yesavage debuted April 8, 2025, for the Dunedin Blue Jays and later threw 19 postseason innings, more than his 14 regular-season innings. Yesavage was widely regarded as a top-10 2024 draft talent who slid to the 20th overall pick, with some evaluators believing he was ready for Double-A. The Blue Jays started him in Single-A in part because of April weather concerns. Prospects who can accelerate quickly are being identified internally. Juan Sanchez, a 17-year-old international signee, posted .341/.439/.565 with 8 homers, 40 RBI and a 156 wRC+ in the DSL and shows elite power projection with comparisons to Junior Caminero.
