LOS ANGELES (AP) — Trey Yesavage rocks back to deliver a pitch and his arm whips down from behind his head as his body tilts to the left, the highest arm slot of any right-handed pitcher this postseason.
“I’m sure some people think that would hurt to go all the way up there,” Toronto's 22-year-old rookie said. “Everyone thinks it’s unique, which it is.”
Yesavage starts Game 5 of the World Series for the Blue Jays on Wednesday night in his fifth postseason outing after just three career regular-season starts. He allowed two runs over four innings in the opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, lacking the explosive fastball that dominated the New York Yankees for 5 1/3 hitless innings in the AL Division Series.
His 65-degree arm angle was exceeded in the postseason only by Alex Vesia at 6
