In the game, he struck out three while just two hits in two innings, with a fastball that topped out at 97.

Although he was drafted in the first round as the 20th overall pick by the Blue Jays last year, Yesavage did not pitch at all with the club after signing last year. Just 21, he is quite advanced as a pitcher, having played three seasons in the NCAA, where he posted a 2.58 ERA over 195.1 innings with 295 strikeouts against 74 walks. Given that, he could be in the majors sooner rather than later and could even Double-A this year.
