Trey Yesavage Prepared for Full Blue Jays Season After 2025 Thrills
Trey Yesavage is gearing up for a full season with the Toronto Blue Jays following an exhilarating year in 2025. After a whirlwind journey through the minor leagues, the young pitcher made his major league debut and participated in the playoffs. This impressive rise included a significant increase in his workload, moving from 93.1 innings at East Carolina in 2024 to 139.2 innings across various levels in 2025.
Trey Yesavage’s Off-Season Routine
After the conclusion of the World Series, Yesavage took time to recharge. He focused on personal well-being, spending time in nature and engaging in activities that minimized screen time. During a visit to the Mattamy Athletic Centre, he addressed over 500 students, discussing the importance of balance in digital consumption and the value of outdoor activities.
Managing Workload and Arm Health
- Yesavage took a three-week break from throwing after the season.
- He has since begun a careful ramp-up in preparation for spring training.
- A 50% increase in innings pitched indicates a greater physical demand.
He acknowledged the necessity of navigating his increased workload carefully, given this is the shortest off-season he has experienced.
Pitching Development Goals
As he prepares for the upcoming season, Yesavage is also working on improving his pitch repertoire. He is experimenting with a curveball, which he had previously set aside. His pitch arsenal includes:
- Fastball
- Splitter
- Slider
Yesavage aims to add a glove-side movement to his pitch mix, primarily used against right-handed and left-handed batters. He has emphasized the importance of finding a comfortable grip for his curveball, especially with his unique arm angle.
Future Aspirations
Despite his success, Yesavage remains in a developmental phase. The Toronto Blue Jays might opt for caution regarding his workload this season, which aligns with his rookie eligibility for the upcoming year. As he looks forward to his first major league spring training, Yesavage is eager to experience a full season with the team.
“I’m excited to see how a full schedule unfolds,” he said, reflecting on the upcoming challenges and opportunities in the Major League Baseball season.
