When Trey Yesavage made his first postseason start for the Toronto Blue Jays and struck out 11 New York Yankees, it was fair for Seattle Mariners fans to wonder why he was not the Mariners' first-round draft pick in 2024.

Seattle, of course, passed on Yesavage in 2024 in favor of switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cjintje, despite many analysts who believed Yesavage was the better and more MLB-ready prospect.
