Trey Yesavage has been SENSATIONAL for the Blue Jays in the Postseason! 🤩 (39 Ks in 26 innings! 🔥)

All right, Kenny. I know he says, John, that he’s built for this and he’s ready, but I got to imagine there’s some crazy butterflies going on, right? Oh, absolutely. I mean, you dream of this when you’re a kid, but I don’t know if you dream of making five different stops to get to this point in one year. And he’s a very unorthodox top of the the the the height of 7.1 ft to deliver a baseball. So, hitters don’t see that very often. Bruce home with a one-two and he begins with a strike out on that splitter. Heartbeat check, pitches check so far, but it’s the right-handers that he’s going to have to figure out how to get out. He’s had less success against right-handers in his short big league stint on another two. Till a swing and a miss and that splitter nose dives to get Bellinger. It’s straight over the top and straight down. And you can see there going to be some funky swings. You can’t sit on it. You just hope it’s a mistake. You tell yourself to see it up and three strikeouts in the first inning for the kid. It’s the splitter that does it again. He’s got proud mom and pop Cheryl and Dave. He’s got a whole country falling in love with him. On a payoff pitch, chases strike three. Slider gets him. Four outs, four Ks. You have to you have to put away the noise and just know that you’re a swing away an inning away from changing the narrative. Savage only boosting his five strikeouts out of the first seven outs of the ball game. This is right down the middle, so it tells you what it what his fast ball’s like. He has tremendous backspin on his four seam fast and that extra hop and hype that he delivers from hitters will tell you they’re not used to seeing that. Strike out number six. That’s straight over the tops that finger diving out of the zone. Not anywhere close. [Applause] And he gets to strutdder on the mound like Yeah. Yeah. Hardy. Six Ks through two and two/3. Seven. He strikes out the side in the third. [Music] Payoff from the Savage. goes and misses right upstairs to get him with the fast ball. That’s what I was talking about earlier. See that ball looks like it’s hitable to a hitter right about there and then it’s like, oh no, cuz you can’t get the barrel the bat on a level plane on a fast ball that high and that velocity. You can’t touch it. He strikes out another former MVP. Unreal. Rice has had no chance against that pitch. There it is. Complete utter dominance. [Music] Other guys picking it up, too. 11 runs for the Jays and 11 Ks for Trey Savage. [Music] [Applause] He’s got a no hitter intact with 11 strikeouts, although he’s at 77 pitches. The most that he’s thrown in the major’s 96. Wells into shallow center field. Maybe. Either way, it’s going to be an easy one for Jimenez. The city and the country going to share their love right here. What a performance in his fourth major league start. [Applause] Well, his first start of this season came in Jupiter, Florida in front of 327 people. Well, this one’s going to come in front of 44,000 here with an entire country watching him, hoping that they can have their season extended. Closest the Mariners have ever been in their 49th year. One win away from the World Series about one pitch. Wow, that’s going to feel good for the 22y old. Yeah, that play that is the that is the theme I think Seattle’s going to have to adhere to. Get to the fast ball and do some damage. D Savage turns and fires and strikes him out with the slider. Good sign for the slider and for the Toronto Blue Jays cuz they’re going to need the Savage to go at least five or six. They short outings are bringing in the bullpens. The bullpens have not been delivering. They need a dominant performance to shorten the gap and you make it impossible for him to take you out. Get the lead off hitter out. get swings and misses. So far, so good. Four up, four down. Oh, with another one, two, and a swing and a miss. And he’s got four strikeouts or three strikeouts over the first five hitters. That’s just a high delivery, high release point, and just hard for the hitter to trust that that’s not going to be a fast ball. The change of speed is why you see such swing and miss because they’re trying to time his fast ball, which is hard enough. And then recognize that this Savage trying to strike out this side and he does. Naylor flailing Earena a wave and a miss and then a fast ball to the knees to ring up Suarez looking for that putaway pitch to Canzone one two and made a good one right there went from uncompetitive to unhitable I know why they’ve got to do it but you’re almost doing him a favor by putting that many left-handers in the lineup because that pitch comes from an angle that is so unique and he has such command of it that left-handed hitter really doesn’t get a chance to have a fair at bat. Base is loaded in a two nothing game. See what he goes with first ditch. It is grounded at first, flatted to second for one to recover. A 361 twin killing and the 22year-old gets Cal Rally on one pitch to get out of this inning unscathe. to second on a short hop. 463 double play again. There it was. He pulled it to the right side. And for the second consecutive inning, the Mariners come away empty-handed. Straight down number six for Treya Savage. That was just perfectly executed. I think they’re so geared towards pitching away from contact ever that you start throwing extra pitches that you don’t need to be throwing, albeit in a very pressure situation. And he has rode that splitter to this bounceback game. Seattle’s 0 for eight, four strikeouts on that pitch. That’s off to short. Six, four, three, three consecutive twin killings. Kirk, the unofficial captain of this Jay’s team, got them back there with his seven strike out of the night. Treya Savage though punched in game two. Quite a response. Great response. Calm, collected. 22. No way. How about this? For game one of the World Series, it is Treya Savage who started this season in a ball. He didn’t even get to the big leagues until about a month ago at 22 years old. He’s the second youngest pitcher to start game one of the World Series. You’ve got to go back to 1947 when a 21-year-old Ralph Brona started for the Dodgers at Yankee Stadium. Go get him, kid. Yeah, go get him with that fast ball and that splitter. And the first pitch of the game against Otani is going to be very interesting to see what he chooses. Here’s his 2-2. And there it is to finish off Otani. There’s the release point. And there’s the splitter that drops. And the hitters just don’t see this. 7.1 ft at the height of release. And his fastball command is going to be very, very huge against a Dodger team that doesn’t expand the zone. One, two from Treya Savage. Bounce gently right side to Bo Bashette. And the kid has him rocking with a one, two, three. First Blue Jays come to bat against Blake Snell. When you come back, here it comes. He’s struck by Slider gets Pah. Two away. Here we go with the bases loaded. It’s show Otani. Grounder fair. Guerrero beats him to the bag and Y Savage limits the damage to one. And a payoff for Nandez. Grounds one towards the middle. Bette with a backhand. Quick trigger throw to first. You’d never know. He’s never played there in the big leagues. You see the effort and you see the throw and a big out. John Schneider said, “I know he can do it.” And he knows firsthand from having managed him in double A back in 2018 when he played a little bit of second base. Muny chases a splitter for strike three. It’s Kika Hernandez starting this fourth for his Dodgers and he’s down swinging over a slider. Strike out number four for Treyus Savage. Well, he has to arc a little bit to throw it at seven. See that arc in his head and when he arches his back a little bit better, he gets into a better position to break that slider down. When there isn’t that tilt and there isn’t that arc, the ball has no chance to break. Another one, two over the top of a slider. Throwing that pitch more than ever tonight. and he’s got his fifth K. Here’s a highf fly ball to deep right center field. Straws back edge of the track gets there. Yavage with a 1, two, three, four. Savage did not have his split finger. That pitch is as good as it gets. And for him to have that pitch is the only way he can get through this Dodgers lineup. Savage home with an 02 and he strikes him out finishing off a one two three first inning in a first inning for the Blue Jays that could not have gone better. Eight pitch to his boy has swung on and missed. He finished him with a splitter. Now this splitter has such great late action in the strike zone and he’s used it to get three consecutive strikeouts. Retirement the first five in game five. And he’s using everything perfectly balanced. Eight fast balls, eight splitters, seven sliders. Swing and a miss from Tommy Edmond and he strikes out the side in the second. Really good so far. He strikes out Muny with a slider to the knees and it’s five in a row. A two two to Otani. Yes. Swung out and miss. Swings himself out of his helmet on a disappearing splitter. And there it is again. He’s comfortable on the release point right now. That is eight strikeouts for Treyus Savage. You see that splitter so connected. All three pitches doing what he wants. Pop fly back of the diamond. And Trey Savage first time there’s a little pressure against him. Does not break. They strand two. Swing and a miss for strike three. Got him with a splitter and has nine in game five of the World Series. 3-2. Paul chases what would have been ball four. And Treya Savage has 10 strikeouts. Treya Savage, 10 strikeouts. The first rookie to do that in a World Series game since former Dodger grade Don Nukem in 1949. A swing and a miss and an 11 strikeout for Treya Savage. He has now tied Smokeoky Joe Wood for the most strikeouts in a World Series game for a pitcher 22 or younger. Trey is savage with 11 strikeouts in this game, matching his careerhigh that he set against the New York Yankees in the Division Series. How about that? 11Ks against the Yankees in the Division Series. 11Ks against the Dodgers, the defending champion in the World Series. Freddy Freeman leads off. It is quickly down 0 and2. That’s impressive. It’s a long layoff. I’m sure they’re going batter to batter. you would think and ride this hot arm as long as they can. But to come out there and do this after that weight, unimpressed most pitches that he’s thrown in the postseason, 87 through 94 in his last start of the regular season. He’s got a new left fielder, Miles Shraw in for Davis Schneider, tightening up that defense that’s already good. One, two to Freeman. There’s a dozen for Trey Savage. What this shows me is John Snder is looking at the results more than he’s looking at anything else. I told you before, you got to throw away stats and tendencies when you’re in a one game. Obviously, they got to win two, but you’re in a oneame situation where your pitcher is having a moment. Don’t go to the stats when he’s having a moment. Let your eyes determine when you think the hitters are telling you different. And John Schneider says that he’s learned his lesson in that regard. He said his first couple postseasons he lost about a month worth of sleep, sitting there laying awake about not trusting his eyes, not trusting his gut, going with the numbers, going with a script. said I was just gripping that wheel too tight, too tied to the formula and committed himself to trusting people and trusting his eyes this time around. Tasker Hernandez slaps it foul and it’s one and two down to Tom Verduchi. Joe, it really is amazing when you think he began this year pitching against the Jupiter Hammerheads in front of 327 people. Here we are World Series game five. He’s seeing the Dodgers, the highest scoring team in the National League, for the second time in 5 days. This is going to be an infield hit for Tesco Hernandez. And Joe, he has obtained 23 swings and misses tonight. That is the most in a World Series game since those things have been tracked since 2008. We are looking at a true World Series prodigy. Evans recapturing what he had against the Yankees in the Division Series, doing to the Yankees. What a young Josh Beckett did at the age of 23 in the World Series in 2003, clinching out of the Yankee Stadium. Speaking of Josh Beckett, saw him today at the golf course. Did you really? Yeah. Boy, was he dominant in that World Series. My goodness. As a youngster, no balls in a strike on Tommy Edmond. 0 for two. fouls it into the glove. Strike two. Continues to get ahead even at 99 pitches. He’s just in rhythm and there’s been no stress. And that’s the beautiful thing about when you’re in rhythm and you don’t have to deal with a lot of stress. Stress causes you to be more firm with your pitches, to be more perfect with your pitches, and therefore more tension. [Applause] Only one at bat tonight with a runner in scoring position. Yeah. Yeah. That’s why that’s why he’s out there. And even that hit right there. Obviously a little infield hit. Be different if he got it laced to left field and guys start timing him up. One of only three hits in this game for LA. Edmond takes it in the dirt and the count evens two and two. Grew up on the pin farm outside of Philadelphia. Boyerstown, Pennsylvania. Didn’t really get into baseball until he was in high school. More interested in playing outdoors. Pretty good career choice. He picked 2-2. Popped out of his hand and the count goes four. Dominguez and Flu Hardy both ready for John Schneider. Would likely be Flu Hardy for Muny. Payoff fouled off and he barely stays alive. [Applause] [Music] Chopper to third. Clemens to second. Over the first double play, a World Series masterpiece from 22year-old Trey Savage. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Please Okay.

Trey Yesavage has made five starts for the Toronto Blue Jays during the 2025 Postseason, pitching to a 3-1 record with 39 strikeouts over 26 innings. The rookie punctuated his incredible Postseason with seven dominant innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series, striking out 12 batters and allowing only one earned run.
