5. Trey Yesavage (Blue Jays)
* Key Points: A very recent arrival to the Majors, but has been incredibly impressive in his limited time (19 1/3 innings). Dominated in the ALDS against the Yankees.Described as a “late bloomer” who believes he’s “built for this” (postseason pressure).Unique delivery and stuff could trouble the Mariners who haven’t faced him before.
* Aggressiveness of Ranking: The article explicitly states this is an “aggressive ranking” given his limited experience.
6. George Kirby (mariners)
* Key Points: Excellent postseason performance so far (1.50 ERA). Regular season ERA (4.21) was higher than his underlying stats (3.37 FIP, 3.85 expected ERA) suggest. Strong K-to-BB ratio recently (45-to-2 in his last five starts).
* Strengths: Consistency, control (even if walk rate increased, it’s still “very good”).
7. Tyler Glasnow (Dodgers)
* Key Points: A pitcher who would be a #1 starter on many teams, but was the Dodgers’ #4 this postseason. has struggled with staying healthy throughout his career. Highly effective when on the mound (3.19 ERA, 29% K-rate).Looked strong in the NLDS clincher.
* Weaknesses: Durability/Staying healthy.
