"His World Series journey was far from over, though. Back on the mound for Game 5 at Dodger Stadium, facing a lineup that had already seen him once, he proceeded to twirl an absolute gem. That's the kind of season it's been for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025 - a team riding improbable heroes and impossible moments. But how Yesavage got here might be even more remarkable."
"22-year-old Trey Yesavage emerges from the dugout to a rowdy Rogers Centre crowd, he's making history simply by being here. Yesavage is the second-youngest player to start a World Series game, yet the Blue Jays showed no hesitation in putting their guy out there after a stellar postseason run. The result of such a bold move? A blowout win for Toronto, where an offensive explosion amounted to 11 runs. Yesavage battled through four strong innings, allowing just two runs while striking out five, giving the Blue Jays exactly what they needed to take the opener."
"His professional journey began in the Florida State League with Low-A Dunedin and the rise was meteoric. Over seven starts with Dunedin, Yesavage posted a 3-0 record with a 2.43 ERA and 55 strikeouts over 33.1 innings. In May, he earned a promotion to High-A Vancouver, where he continued to dominate with a 1.56 ERA across four starts."
Trey Yesavage, age 22, started Game 1 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays and helped secure a blowout victory with an 11-run offensive outburst. Yesavage allowed two runs and struck out five across four innings in the opener. He returned in Game 5 at Dodger Stadium and delivered another outstanding performance against a lineup that had faced him earlier. Yesavage rose rapidly through the minor leagues in 2025, advancing from Low-A Dunedin to High-A Vancouver and then to Double-A New Hampshire before reaching Triple-A Buffalo. He posted low ERAs and high strikeout totals at each level, fueling his rapid ascent.
