Blue Jays pitching phenom drawing strong praise as the top prospect of his age group
"Toronto Blue Jays fans, and the broader baseball world, got a front row ticket to the exceptional talent that Trey Yesavage posses. The young pitching phenom was sensational in his three game regular season call up, and then exceeded all expectations with an unforgettable playoff run. As the 22-year-old right hander looks to break camp with the major league team for the first time this spring, he's already being mentioned as the best prospect of his age group by MLB.com."
"With an extreme over-the-top delivery (7.09 ft, second among pitchers only to Justin Verlander), his combination of a rising fastball and devastating splitter, with a promising slider and curve to boot, enabled him to rack up 160 K's in 98 Minor League innings. And after dominating in the postseason, he's going to shoot up the Top 100, potentially into the top 10."
Trey Yesavage made a rapid rise from the Minors to a memorable MLB debut and dominant postseason showing at age 22. He appeared at every full-season minor league level before debuting in September and struck out 160 batters in 98 Minor League innings. Yesavage features an extreme over-the-top 7.09 ft delivery, a rising fastball, a devastating splitter, plus a promising slider and curve. MLB.com named him the top 22-year-old prospect, and his postseason performance could propel him into the Top 100 and into early rotation consideration for the Blue Jays.
