Trey Yesavage

Not since Randy Arozarena's 2020 playoff exploits has a prospect improved their stock more in a postseason than Yesavage did during Toronto's run to Game 7 of the World Series. He finished the regular season as a top 25 fantasy prospect, but then Yesavage logged a 3.58 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB in 27.2 playoff innings, including a historic 12-K performance against the Dodgers in the World Series. Small-sample greatness aside, Yesavage proved over the course of the 2025 campaign that the Jays found a gem with the 20th overall pick in 2024, as he logged at least four starts at Single-A, High-A, Double-A and Triple-A before making his big-league debut Sept. 15. He boasts a true three-pitch mix, with his four-seamer, slider and splitter all getting thrown over a quarter of the time. The most notable thing about the 6-foot-4 Yesavage is his release point height, which is over seven feet - a realm only inhabited by Justin Verlander and Pete Fairbanks during the regular season. This results in an uncomfortable at-bat for hitters and plenty of ugly swings. The one thing to nitpick is his control, as he walked over 15 percent of batters at High-A and Triple-A before walking 10.5 percent of batters in the majors (including the playoffs), but given that he didn't turn 22 until July and is a no-doubt starter, it's not a major concern. Including the postseason, Yesavage threw 139.2 innings in 2025, but the Jays plan to manage his workload early in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
