Toronto Blue Jays prospect pitcher Trey Yesavage has been phenomenal in his first year pro to the point where there is actually a chance he could end up in the MLB this season.
Yesavage was recently promoted to High-A with the Vancouver Canadians from the Dunedin Blue Jays where he was dominating and basically picked up exactly where he left off from.
Blue Jays prospect Trey Yesavage has a real chance at playing in Toronto this season
In his first start in High-A, Yesavage finished with 10 strikeouts, giving up only 2 earned runs on a total of 2 hits 73 pitches in which 44 were strikes.
In that first start, he threw well after a slow start. He gave up two hits, two runs (both earned), three walks and 10 strikeouts as he threw 73 pitches, 44 of which were strikes. -Postins
In his second start yesterday,Yesavage had another brilliant outing as he finished with one 1 hit allowed while striking out 9 batters and improving his ERA to 2.25 in High-A.
He finished by allowing one hit and three walks. He struck out nine and trimmed his ERA to 2.25. he threw 73 pitches, 45 of which were strikes. -Postins
The control and speed at which Yesavage has been pitching at so far this season is one of a polished veteran which is why many believe that there is a realistic chance he gets call up to Toronto this season.
If he continues to play this well, he will likely move up to Double-A in a couple weeks and if he is able to continue to deliever in Double-A and Triple-A after that, there is no reason that the Blue Jays should not give him a shot.
Since Toronto has been dealing with all kind of injuries this season and issues with their starting rotation, getting Yesavage towards the end of the season would be a massive benefit.
Hopefully things continue to work out for the young star pitcher and fans will get to cheer him on in a Blue Jays uniform soon.
