Trey Yesavage ranked as top rookie who will have biggest impact in postseason

by | Sep 30, 2025

Baseball’s postseason begins on Tuesday and there’s a lot of buzz going on, not only about the teams.

There are a number of rookies who are on these teams who are expected to make a big impact in the playoffs. In fact, some of them could make or break their team’s chances of a long run or even a World Series title.

Joe Trezza with MLB.com put together a list of the 12 rookies who will make the biggest impact. On top of that list is ECU baseball alum and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage.

Trezza writes in part about Yesavage, “Three starts into his big league career, Yesavage is already one of the three most important starting pitchers on Toronto’s roster — behind Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber — and a legitimate X-factor come the AL Division Series and possibly beyond.”
