East Carolina alum and Toronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Trey Yesavage continues to impress after four minor league starts this season.
In four games, he’s got a 3.12 ERA with nine hits and eight runs allowed, six earned. He’s struck out 28 and walked eight in 17.1 innings.
SBNation’s BlueBirdBaner.com website analyzed Yesavage’s performance and gave some insight on how things were going.
“Overall, the StatCast data so far is promising. Yesavage is sitting nearer to the top of the 93-95 velocity band he inhabited in college, and his three main pitches all look at least as good as expected. It’s a little bit of an unusual look, but the pieces fit together well and the as-advertised command (again, excluding an odd first outing) brings it all together into a potent package. He should get the chance to deploy it against hitters who are a little closer to his level soon.”
