The Toronto Blue Jays’ farm system had a strong 2025.
There were plenty of breakout prospects, such as pitchers Gage Stanifer and Johnny King, while a handful of position players made a name for themselves, such as Yohendrick Piñango and Juan Sanchez.
Well, on Thursday evening, MLB Pipeline announced that Trey Yesavage and RJ Schreck won their annual Prospects of the Year award for the Blue Jays.
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%.
Toward the end of the season, the Blue Jays called him up and added him to the rotation, where he made three starts with a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 14 innings pitched. 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. As a whole, Yesavage had a 3.58 ERA and 3.61 FIP in 27.2 innings pitched in the post-season.
Yesavage being named as the Blue Jays’ pitching prospect of the year didn’t come as a surprise, but RJ Schreck’s ascent to become a top 10 prospect is a little more surprising. 
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+.
Schreck’s 143 wRC+ for the season ranked third for all qualified hitters in the Blue Jays’ system, only behind the aforementioned Sanchez (156 wRC+ in 253 plate appearances) and Elaineiker Coronado (152 wRC+ in 248 plate appearances).
There’s a legitimate chance that the Schreck, a left-handed batting outfielder, could factor in the 2026 Blue Jays if he can continue his strong play to begin next season. This award is well deserved for both Blue Jays’ prospects.
