"Everyone knows about Trey Yesavage. Drafted 20th overall in the 2024 draft, Yesavage made his professional debut in Single-A to begin the 2025 season. He had a rapid ascent up the minor league ladder and joined the Blue Jays rotation in mid-September. After three solid starts in the regular season, accumulating 14 days of service time (keep this in mind), Yesavage had a historic debut in the postseason, striking out 11 in five and one-third hitless innings."
"In a pivotal Game 5 of the World Series, he struck out 12 Los Angeles Dodgers in seven innings of one-run ball. With these performances, Yesavage put himself on the map as a must-watch pitcher and will be crucial for the Jays' rotation in 2026. The best part? Yesavage has retained his rookie status, which is great news for the Blue Jays."
"The Prospect Promotion Incentive pick was introduced in 2022 to make teams stop manipulating service time on top prospects. If a player is considered a top 100 prospect by two of ESPN, MLB Pipeline, or Baseball America and wins Rookie of the Year, the team will be eligible for a draft pick after the first round. It also applies to players who have played three or fewer years who finished top three in MVP or Cy Young voting."
Trey Yesavage was drafted 20th overall in 2024 and began professional play in Single-A to start the 2025 season. He rose rapidly through the minor leagues and joined the Blue Jays rotation in mid-September. Yesavage made three regular-season starts, accumulating 14 days of service time, and delivered a historic postseason debut with 11 strikeouts in five and one-third hitless innings. In World Series Game 5 he struck out 12 Dodgers across seven innings of one-run baseball. Yesavage retained rookie status. The Prospect Promotion Incentive awards a post-first-round pick if a top-100 prospect wins Rookie of the Year or finishes top three in MVP/Cy Young under specified criteria. Yesavage appears eligible to trigger that pick.
