Incredible update on Toronto Blue Jays' top prospect Trey Yesavage

The Toronto Blue Jays' top pitching prospect finished his outing after 68 pitches over 4.0 innings of one-run ball. The six-foot-four righty allowed just one hit while walking and striking out four.

New Hampshire was taking on the Philadelphia Phillies' double-A affiliate, the Reading Fightin Phils. With the games taking place in Pennsylvania, Yesavage got the opportunity to pitch close to his hometown of Pottstown.

Yesavage handed out free passes to the first three batters he faced in the bottom of the first inning, but was able to escape the jam with just a single run coming across to score after inducing two infield pop-ups and a sacrifice fly.

Toronto's 2024 first-rounder settled in from there, recording his first career double-A strikeout in the second inning and allowing just two baserunners over his final 3.0 frames of work.

Yesavage surrendered his only hit of the night - a leadoff double - to begin the fourth, but struck out two of the next three hitters to strand Reading right fielder Felix Reyes at third base.

Fightin Phils hitters were likely happy to see Yesavage depart on Thursday, as the Phillies' prospects put up a five-run fifth against the Fisher Cats bullpen.

The Blue Jays officially promoted Yesavage to New Hampshire on Thursday after four starts with high-A Vancouver and seven starts with low-A Dunedin.

With his four punchouts, the 21-year-old Yesavage retook his place atop the minor-league leaderboard, passing Canadian Jonah Tong with 92 strikeouts on the season.

Yesavage's climb up the Blue Jays' farm system hasn't gone unnoticed by the brass at the MLB level.
