  2. Psyched for this kid, but starting to get worried about the next 5 years in the AL…

  11. This guy just strolled into the league last month and said I’m gonna dominate one of the greatest teams every assembled in the World Series

  18. Does Yesavage keep his rookie eligibility next year? He could do this again next year lol

  21. Thats how you get people to remember you for the rest of baseball history.

    Breaking the rookie record vs the defending champion Dodgers.

  24. Have to tip your cap to this young buck. On the road in the biggest game of his life and he deals a gem. Pains to watch my teams offense disappear but Toronto has put the pressure on since the first pitch of game 1 and haven’t let up. Impressive squad in Toronto

  26. With 17 strikeouts over his 11 innings between Games 1 and 5, Yesavage has landed 2nd for the record for strikeouts per 9 IP record in a single World Series (13.91 K per 9 IP). The only pitcher with more? Blake Snell in 2020.

  28. Masterclass in pitching tonight. It’s also refreshing to see a manager trust their pitcher based on the results they’re getting…

  29. Did Yesavage get stuck paying the steel tariff bringing his balls over the border or is that something the organization covers?

  30. People saying Dodgers shit the bed are taking away from just how good Trey was tonight

  32. For anyone interested max ellingsen has been writing up seattles draft prospects for a few seasons and his 2024 preview on yesavage [makes for a good read now](https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2024/6/20/24182212/2024-mlb-draft-player-profiles-college-pitching-trey-yesavage).

    > From a pure stuff standpoint, there’s a lot to love. His fastball sits in the mid-90’s consistently and will hold its velocity well into starts. Due to his over the top delivery (he releases the ball nearly seven feet off the ground), Yesavage’s fastball features a massive amount of carry through the zone with above average command. He pairs his fastball with a cutter/slider combination that acts as his primary offspeed pitch. Additionally, Yesavage features a truly disgusting splitter. A new addition to his arsenal, it’s quickly becoming Yesavage’s best pitch and has completely neutralized hitters thus far. With such a high release point out, his splitter has immense downward movement and passes through the zone at an incredibly steep angle which makes it tough to barrel up and induces a lot of whiffs.
    What’s the catch? A month ago, Yesavage was hospitalized with a partially collapsed lung and missed his chance to pitch in the AAC tournament. Fortunately, Yesavage recovered and was able to quickly return to the mound to duke things out with Chase Burns, perhaps the best pitcher in the nation. In his first and only action after the injury, Yesavage managed 7.1 innings of shutout ball and allowed just one hit. It’s knocked his draft stock down just a tick, but I struggle to think it will keep him down come draft day.

  33. Can I just take a second to thank all the non Jays flairs for having our back. I respect the fuck out of all of you.

  35. Dodgers don’t want it. Awesome series blue jays. Knew it wasn’t going to be easy but damn you guys are embarrassing us. Still a fun year though GG
