Trey Yesavage has called out baseball fans who have been subjecting his family and girlfriend to abuse during Major League Baseball's post-season.

Yesavage opened a news conference on Sunday afternoon with a prepared statement to address the attacks on his loved ones. The rookie will be the Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday against the Seattle Mariners.

"Living in this world where there's so many different opinions and feelings which results in a lot of hate, it's sad to see that people close to me are being attacked for my performances on the field," said Yesavage. "These people have done nothing to warrant negativity for my actions, whether that's my parents, my brothers, my girlfriend, family. It's just really sad."
