MLB icon Alex Rodriguez appreciated Toronto Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage’s historic performance in Game 5 of the World Series. Yesavage pitched seven innings and struck out 12 hitters, which led to the Blue Jays’ 6-1 victory against the Dodgers.
A-Rod said in a clip as a studio analyst for FOX:
“I talked about teams facing a pitcher for the second time — usually that’s an advantage for the offense. The more you see a pitcher, the more chances you get.
•
“But this kid not only got better, he was an all-timer… he’s rock-throne. He’s a real pitcher—working with 100, adding and subtracting. He threw only 29 fastballs today, …. but pitched like a 22-year-old, like a 32-year-old, incredibly impressive.”
A-Rod shared the clip on his Instagram story, captioning it:
“Trey Yesavage, simply impressive.”
In the 2024 MLB draft, Yesavage was selected in the first round by the Blue Jays and signing bonus worth $4,177,500, a source told MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis.
