Rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage is set to make a historic start by throwing the first pitch of the 2025 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yesavage, aged 22, has quickly climbed up the ranks within the organization, making his way to the major league in September and proving his mettle in the postseason.
Having shown glimpses of brilliance in his recent outings, including a standout performance against the New York Yankees, where he set a franchise record for strikeouts, Yesavage will look to continue his impressive run in the upcoming Game 1. On the opposing side, the Dodgers will be sending out the formidable lefty Blake Snell, known for his dominant postseason display with 28 strikeouts and just two earned runs in 21 innings.
The World Series action will kick off on Friday, with live coverage available on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+. As the excitement builds up for the highly-anticipated showdown between the Blue Jays and the Dodgers, all eyes will be on these two promising pitchers to set the tone for the series.
