It will be the fifth start of the playoffs and second of the World Series for the 22-year-old Yesavage, who made his MLB debut in September and had just three major-league starts before the post-season

  1. In Trey We Trust, What A Savage!

    What a year its been for the kid, making his pro debut in at Low A in April to striking out 9 in his MLB debut in September to an 11 strikeout performance in his Postseason debut !

    What a year with more to come !

  2. I remember seeing highlights of his when he was promoted from Dunedin to Vancouver. Absolutely insane.

  4. Hopefully they fit this snippet into their 4 hour Ohtani glazing. It was ridiculous last night.

  5. Hopefully he pitches historically, going five or six innings of no run baseball and then the bullpen blows it and the dodgers win

  7. When Toronto won the pennant, Trey had been waiting for 35 days, since his major debut, for that moment. He’s shown younger generation to be patient and to grind it out before expecting big things to happen professionally. Thank you, Trey.

  8. No matter the sport, it’s a huge advantage to be able to bring in a capable rookie in the playoffs where the opposition has minimal film on them. Jays are blessed with this kid.

  9. Thank you for posting this. Not enough people know about this kid and they should! He is one to watch. Also such an unreal story more so than Ohtani. No offence to Shohei but Yesavage is the more interesting story this post season.

    He also is living out of his car, is being paid Pennie’s and is having a wild ride he deserves to be noticed

  12. I really hope he has his splitter going tonight. His strikeout rate against the Yankees was ludicrous. It felt like he was going to pitch a no-hitter, amd ser the major league playoff record, with 18 strikeouts, until they pulled him in the 6th at 76 pitches, 11 strike outs and 0 hits.

    He was 2 for 10 hitting the strike zone with his splitter in game one, and 7 of the 10 were nowhere close. Of the 10, 5 were balls, 1 called strike, 2 swinging strikes, 1 foul, and 1 out.

    Against NY, 16/29 were in the strike zone, and 12 more dropped below the strike zone, and 10/12 of those induced comical looking swings. Only one pitch wasn’t close. Of the 29 splitters, he had 8 called strikes, 11 swinging strikes, 2 fouls, 2 outs, 1 base hit, and only 4 balls. Absolutely devastating.

    With only 3 pitches in his arsenal, he needs the splitter to work.
