So, there&#8217;s that. And also the fact that he&#8217;s been really good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The extreme <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/baseballsavant.mlb.com\/statcast_search?hfPT=&amp;hfAB=&amp;hfGT=R%7C&amp;hfPR=&amp;hfZ=&amp;hfStadium=&amp;hfBBL=&amp;hfNewZones=&amp;hfPull=&amp;hfC=&amp;hfSea=2026%7C&amp;hfSit=&amp;player_type=pitcher&amp;hfOuts=&amp;home_road=&amp;pitcher_throws=&amp;batter_stands=&amp;hfSA=&amp;hfEventOuts=&amp;hfEventRuns=&amp;hfABSFlag=&amp;game_date_gt=&amp;game_date_lt=&amp;hfMo=&amp;hfTeam=&amp;hfOpponent=&amp;hfRO=&amp;position=&amp;hfInfield=&amp;hfOutfield=&amp;hfInn=&amp;hfBBT=&amp;hfFlag=&amp;metric_1=&amp;group_by=name&amp;min_pitches=250&amp;min_results=0&amp;min_pas=0&amp;sort_col=release_pos_z&amp;player_event_sort=api_p_release_speed&amp;sort_order=desc&amp;chk_stats_release_pos_z=on#results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">over-the-top release<\/a> is Yesavage&#8217;s hallmark, and hitters still don&#8217;t seem to know what to do with it. He would arguably be the king of the uncomfortable at-bat even if he didn&#8217;t have good stuff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">And he does, of course. He only throws a fastball, splitter and slider, but he mixes them well and is close to flawless when he goes to the split. For his career so far, it has a 50.3 whiff percentage and a .138 average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Walks remain an issue\u2014he issued seven free passes his last time out alone\u2014but a pitcher can get away with that when both making contact and making good contact are difficult. So far this year, he&#8217;s in the 81st percentile with his whiff rate and the 95th percentile with his hard-hit rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 Stats: 7 GS, 37.0 IP, 26 H (0 HR), 39 K, 17 BB, 2.19 ERA What Makes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":707871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-707870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
