Trey Yesavage - Prospect Profile

Joel Reuter - Bleacher Report - July 7th: "The 6'4", 225-pound right-hander went 11-1 with a 2.03 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 145 strikeouts in 93.1 innings this spring, and with a polished four-pitch repertoire he should move quickly toward his ceiling as a workhorse, middle-of-the-rotation starter with a chance for a bit more if he continues to smooth out his overall command."

Ayrton Ostly - USA Today - July 4th: "Yesavage suffered a punctured lung this season that kept him out of the ACC tournament but he ranked third in ERA (2.02) and fifth in strikeouts (145) in the country this season. A 6-4 lefty with a fastball that touches 98 mph and offers the promise of a quick move through the organization."

Baseball America - July 1st: "Listed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, Yesavage works with a stiff delivery and over-the-top slot but has impressive feel for a four-pitch mix. He sits in the 93-95 mph range with a four-seam fastball that touches 97 and has above-average riding life."

MLB.com - July 1st: "Yesavage has a quality four-pitch arsenal highlighted by a mid-80s slider/cutter with more depth than lateral movement. His fastball parks at 93-95 mph and peaks at 98, overcoming a lack of life with plenty of carry from a high arm slot. He also has a low-80s spike curveball and a splitter with similar velocity, and both miss bats as well."

Prospects Live - May 29th: "His fastball sits in the mid-90s with immense carry up in the zone and excellent command, but it's the off-speed pitches that have taken center stage. The cutter-esque slider is a plus offering with gyro drop and bite in the mid-80s and his low-80s splitter has taken a huge step forward, consistently showing plus in-game with insane tumble."

Keith Law - The Athletic - May 22nd: "He does throw an actual breaking ball but it’s a clear third pitch, with the splitter his go-to weapon for hitters on both sides of the plate. If you don’t mind or care about the short arm action, the question is whether he can be a successful major-league starter as a fastball/splitter guy."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - May 8th: "He doesn't have a true plus pitch in my mind, but is above average at nearly everything with a clear starter look and he's posted all spring. He has a good chance to be a fourth starter in short order with the upside of becoming a third starter who reaches the enviable status of optionable big league starter within 12 months."
