Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Racking up Ks at Single-A
Rotowire
Yesavage struck out 10 and gave up two runs on one hit and two walks over 4.2 innings for Single-A Dunedin on Friday.
It's the second straight start with double-digit strikeouts for the 2024 first-round pick, who is predictably dominating Florida State League hitters. Yesavage sports a 3.12 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB through 17.1 innings, and once the weather gets better in the Pacific Northwest, the 21-year-old right-hander should receive a promotion to High-A Vancouver, where he'll face a better test of his current skills.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Affiliate not yet determined

The Blue Jays haven't yet decided where Yesavage will begin his pro career, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
The 20th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft didn't debut last year after completing his collegiate career at East Carolina, but his stuff is already good enough to potentially handle High-A or even Double-A. Early-season weather concerns in the Northwest and Eastern Leagues may cause the Jays to play it safe with the 21-year-old right-hander and assign him to Single-A Dunedin in the Florida State League instead, to ensure he gets into a rhythm before facing more advanced hitters. Yesavage touched 97 mph with good movement on his fastball during his Spring Breakout game performance March 15 while generating whiffs on all four of the cutters he threw, and his splitter flashed plus as well.
