It might not be a much longer wait for Try Yesavage to be in in the big leagues. The 21-year-old prospect of the Toronto Blue Jays came into Saturday’s “Futures Game” and struck out St. Louis Cardinals prospect JJ Wetherholt on just four pitches.
A shot but sweet experience for the rising star, who was drafted in the first round just one year ago. Yesavage owns a 3.19 ERA across 67.2 innings pitched at three different minor league levels. He’s now in Double-A with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats and leads all minor league pitchers with 111 strikeouts going into this weekend.
