Trey Yesavage: I'm Built for This: Yesavage Goes from Pro Debut to ALDS Game 2 Start in 6 Months

"TORONTO — In a stunning turn of events, Blue Jays rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage has catapulted himself from a minor league debut in front of a sparse crowd to starting Game 2 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) against the Yankees. The 22-year-old right-hander's meteoric rise has left fans and analysts alike in awe.
Yesavage's journey began in Single-A, where he made his professional debut just six months ago. "I'm built for this," he said confidently, a mantra that has driven him throughout his rapid ascent. From there, he rose through four minor league levels, impressing scouts and coaches with his talent and determination.
On Sunday, Yesavage took the mound at Rogers Centre, facing the sport's best lineup in just his fourth big-league start. The result was a no-hitter through 5 1/3 innings, with a franchise-record 11 strikeouts. "This has got to be cloud nine," Yesavage exclaimed after the game. "I couldn't imagine a better feeling right now."
Yesavage's performance has put the Blue Jays up 2-0 in the ALDS, with the series now shifting to the Bronx. The 22-year-old's rapid rise has drawn comparisons to other October phenoms, but he remains humble and focused on the task at hand. "I was sitting in there, thinking about the comment I made the other day, where I said 'I'm built for this,'" he said. "And I was like, well, I'd better back that up."
As the Blue Jays look to advance to the next round, Yesavage's emergence has given the team a much-needed boost. With his confidence and talent on full display, it's clear that he's ready for the big stage. The question now is: what's next for this rising star?
"I'm built for this," Yesavage said, and it's clear that he's not just talking about one game or one series – he's talking about a career.
