"Yesavage was all but guaranteed to win the award. Drafted 20th overall in the 2024 draft, the 22-year-old righty made his professional debut in 2025, going from Single-A to starting Game 1 of the World Series. Between all four "A" levels in 2025, Yesavage had a 3.12 ERA and 2.52 FIP in 98 innings pitched, with a 41.1 K% and 10.5 BB%."
"It was the postseason where Yesavage made a name for himself, striking out 11 Yankees in five and one-third no-hit innings to lead the Blue Jays to a Game 2 victory. In a pivotal Game 5 in the World Series, Yesavage struck out 12 in seven innings of one-hit ball, leading to the Jays' 6-1 win to push the Los Angeles Dodgers to the brink."
"Acquired before the 2024 trade deadline from the Seattle Mariners for Justin Turner, Schreck began the season with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, slashing .266/.396/.518 with nine home runs in 169 plate appearances, with a 15.4 BB% and 20.9 K% for a 166 wRC+. He didn't slow down once being promoted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, slashing .242/.392/.435 with nine home runs in 234 plate appearances for a 129 wRC+."
There were multiple breakout prospects, including pitchers Gage Stanifer and Johnny King and position players Yohendrick Piñango and Juan Sanchez. Trey Yesavage, drafted 20th overall in 2024, advanced from Single-A to the major league rotation in 2025, posting a 3.12 ERA and 2.52 FIP across A levels and striking out 41.1% of batters. Yesavage recorded strong postseason starts, including 11 strikeouts in five-and-one-third no-hit innings and 12 strikeouts in seven one-hit innings in World Series games. RJ Schreck, acquired for Justin Turner, produced a combined 143 wRC+ with strong walk rates and power between Double-A and Triple-A.
