Trey Yesavage said he plans to add a curveball to his pitch mix this season.
Fantasy Impact
Yesavage currently features a fastball, splitter and slider, but noted that his unique over-the-top arm angle makes a glove-side breaking ball an ideal addition. Adding a curveball would allow him to better leverage his high release point and tunnel the pitch with his fastball, forcing hitters to cover the entire vertical plane. Hitters would need to account for the fastball’s ride, the splitter falling off the table and a looping curveball that could be effective against both righties and lefties. Yesavage impressed during the postseason, finishing with a 3.58 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 27.2 innings, and will look to build on that performance in his first full season in the big leagues.
Trey Yesavage will start Game 1 of the World Series on Friday against the Dodgers.

A first-round pick just last year, Yesavage has blazed through the Blue Jays' farm system this season.

He has struck out a whopping 160 batters over 98 innings overall this year. Yesavage currently slots in as the Blue Jays top prospect and the No. 5 overall pitching prospect per MLB.com.
