Trey Yesavage looks like the real deal.

On Saturday afternoon, the <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/">Toronto Blue Jays</a>&#8216; top pitching prospect pitched a third of an inning in the All-Star Futures Game, striking out the batter on just four pitches before being pulled.

<a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-mlb-pipeline-ranks-trey-yesavage-10th-best-rhp-prospect">Yesavage</a> pitched to JJ Wetherholt, MLB Pipeline’s 19th-best prospect. His first pitch, a 95 mph fastball, missed down and low. The future Blue Jay then threw an 83.3 mph changeup in the same location, getting a foul tip, which was counted as a foul ball because it wasn’t held on to. A changeup at the top of the zone was called for strike two, before he got Wetherholt to bite on a nasty splitter.

Of the 19 pitchers who pitched in the Futures Game, Yesavage was one of just four who faced one batter. It would’ve been nice to see Yesavage face more than one batter like many others did.
Selected 20th overall in the 2024 draft, Yesavage made his professional debut with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays this season. He posted a 2.43 ERA and 2.23 FIP in 33.1 innings pitched, with a 43.3 K% and 6.3 BB%. The 21-year-old made just four starts in High-A, finishing his tenure there with a 1.56 ERA and 3.12 FIP in 17.1 innings pitched, with a 47.8 K% and 15.9 BB%.
<a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-blue-jays-top-pitching-prospect-trey-yesavage-promoted-aa">Yesavage has been challenged in Double-A</a>, as he has a 6.35 ERA and 4.03 FIP in 17 innings pitched, with his K% dropping to 31.1% and his BB% remaining at a high 14.9%. Altogether, the first-year professional has a 3.19 ERA and 2.91 FIP in 67.2 innings pitched.
Moreover, Yesavage has been one of the best strikeout artists this season. His 111 strikeouts aren’t just the highest in the Blue Jays’ organization (six more than Juaron Watts-Brown), but are tied for the second-most in all of minor league baseball. The only pitcher with more strikeouts than Yesavage is Canadian Jonah Tong.
It’ll be interesting to see how far Yesavage progresses the rest of the season, because there’s a chance he’ll reach as high as Triple-A by the end of the year.
