Trey Yesavage was the consensus third-best pitcher available in the 2024 Draft,behind top-five picks Chase Burns and Hagen Smith. He outdueled Burns in NCAA regional play despite having a lung partially collapsed after dry needling treatment went awry, then went 20th overall to the Blue Jays. The only reason he lasted that long was that some clubs had medical concerns about his back.

Trey Yesavage 是2024年選秀中公認的第三號投手新秀，僅次於前五順位的 Chase Burns和 Hagen Smith。他在大學聯盟分區賽中擊敗了 Burns，儘管當時因為乾針治療失誤導致肺部部分塌陷，仍展現出驚人的韌性。最終他在選秀中以第20順位被藍鳥選中，而之所以掉到這個順位，是因為有些球隊對他的背部狀況存疑。

Toronto envisioned Yesavage as a guy who could fit in the front half of a big league rotation on a contender -- which was correct. It just happened much quicker than anyone expected.

多倫多藍鳥當時預期 Yesavage 能成為一支爭冠球隊輪值前段的先發投手——而這個判斷證明完全正確，只是比預期發生得更快。

As the Blue Jays came within two outs of a World Series title, Yesavage was oneof their biggest October heroes. He joined them in September, and the club won each of his three regular-season starts, without which it wouldn't have been American League East champions. Toronto won four of his five playoff starts, with Yesavage earning crucial victories in the Division Series, Championship Series and World Series, setting rookie records for strikeouts in a World Series game (12) and total whiffs in a postseason (39).

當藍鳥隊距離世界大賽冠軍僅差兩個出局數時，Yesavage 成為了他們十月最關鍵的英雄之一。他在九月被升上大聯盟，球隊在他三場例行賽先發中全數取勝，沒有那些勝場，藍鳥甚至無法拿下美聯東區冠軍。季後賽中，藍鳥在他五場先發中贏了四場，Yesavage 分別在分區賽、聯盟冠軍賽與世界大賽拿下關鍵勝投，並創下新秀世界大賽單場最多三振（12次）與單一季後賽最多三振（39次）的紀錄。

It's rare for a player to go from the Draft one year to playoff glory the next.We probably won't see another Yesavage-like rise in 2026, but if we do, who arethe candidates? Here are seven -- six first-round selections and a second-roundsleeper.

球員能在選秀隔年就踏上季後賽舞台並成為焦點，實屬罕見。2026年大概不會再有另一個 Yesavage 式的傳奇，但如果真有的話，以下這幾位——六名首輪新秀與一位二輪黑馬——最
有可能複製他的驚奇之旅。

Kade Anderson, LHP, Mariners (No. 3 overall)

The Mariners were this close to making the World Series this fall, and Andersonshouldn't need much time in the Minors. He rode a polished four-pitch arsenal to Most Outstanding Player accolades at the College World Series, helping Louisiana State win its second national title in three years, and led NCAA Division I with 180 strikeouts in 119 innings.

水手隊本季離世界大賽只差一步，而 Anderson 應該不需要在小聯盟待太久。他擁有成熟的四種球路組合，並在大學世界大賽中奪下最傑出球員（Most Outstanding Player）殊榮，幫助路易斯安那州立大學（LSU）在三年間拿下第二座全國冠軍，同時以 119 局投出 180次三振，成為全美一級聯盟（NCAA Division I）的三振王。

Gage Wood, RHP, Phillies (No. 26 overall)

Wood authored the best performance in CWS history, spinning a 19-strikeout no-hitter against Murray State with only a hit batter costing him a perfect game. Hehas a history of shoulder issues and they cost him two months last spring, but he also possesses a nasty mid-90s fastball that reaches 98 mph and a power 82-85mph curveball that are hard to hit.

Wood 在大學世界大賽（CWS）投出了史上最精彩的表現──他對上莫瑞州立大學（Murray State）投出 19 次三振、無安打比賽，唯一的瑕疵是一名打者被觸身球砸中，錯失完全比賽。
他過去有肩膀傷勢的紀錄，上個春天也因此缺席兩個月，但他擁有難以應付的中高 90 英里速球（最高可達 98 mph），以及威力強勁、球速在 82–85 mph 之間的曲球，讓打者極難掌握。

Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Red Sox (No. 15 overall)

Witherspoon paced the Southeastern Conference with a 5.4 K/BB ratio last spring, displaying four pitches that miss bats: a mid-90s fastball that reaches 91 mph, a low-80s downer curveball, a mid-80s slider and an upper-80s cutter. His control and command took big steps forward this year, which could expedite his trip through the Minors.

Witherspoon 去年春天在東南聯盟（SEC）繳出 5.4 的三振保送比，名列聯盟第一，展現出能讓打者揮空的四種球路：中 90 英里的速球（最快達 97 mph）、低 80 英里的下沉曲球、中 80 英里的滑球，以及高 80 英里的卡特球。

他今年在控球與投球指令上的進步相當明顯，這也可能讓他更快升上大聯盟。

Liam Doyle, LHP, Cardinals (No. 5 overall)

Doyle would rank higher on this list if the Cardinals projected as stronger contenders in 2026. He topped D-I in strikeout rate (15.4 per nine innings) last spring and reached Double-A at the end of his brief pro debut. He features an explosive fastball that reaches triple digits, and he has three other offerings (82-85 mph slider, upper-80s cutter and splitter) that could be solid or better.

如果紅雀在 2026 年的競爭力更強，Doyle 在這份榜單上的排名應該會更高。

他去年春天在大學聯盟以每九局 15.4 次三振的數據位居全美第一，並在短暫的職業首秀後就升上 2A。

Doyle 擁有能逼近三位數球速的爆發型速球，另外三種球路──82–85 英里的滑球、高 80 英里的卡特球與指叉球──都有潛力成為平均以上的武器。

Andrew Fischer, 3B/1B, Brewers (No. 20 overall)

There won't be as many college bats rushing to the Majors from this year's Draft as there were from the 2023 and 2024 crops, but Fischer could get there first.He had the best performance data of any college hitter in the 2025 class while also ranking third in D-I in homers (25) and fourth in walks (63).

今年的大學打者整體上不像 2023 和 2024 年那兩屆那麼快能登上大聯盟，但 Fischer 可能會是最快的一個。

他在 2025 屆選秀球員中擁有最出色的擊球數據，同時在大學聯盟全美排名全壘打第 3（25 支）、保送第 4（63 次）。

Jamie Arnold, LHP, Athletics (No. 11 overall)

Young talent is driving the A's back toward contention, and they were pleasantly surprised to find Arnold available with their first-round pick. He deals mid-90s fastballs and nasty 82-85 mph sliders from a tough angle, which could get himtoward the front of the big league rotation in a hurry.

年輕戰力正帶著運動家隊重返競爭行列，而他們能在首輪選到 Arnold 可說是意外之喜。

他擁有中速 90 英哩的速球與犀利的 82–85 英哩滑球，出手角度刁鑽，有機會很快就站上大聯盟先發輪值的前段位置。

A.J. Russell, RHP, Rangers (No. 52 overall)

Though internal brace surgery in 2024 limited Russell in his last two college seasons at Tennessee, he possesses a unicorn fastball that parks at 92-94 mph andpeaks at 98 with an exceptionally low release point, wide angle, significant armside run and carry up in the zone. The Rangers hope he's a starter, but he may be able to handle high-leverage relief innings next October if needed.

雖然 2024 年的韌帶內固定手術讓 Russell 在田納西大學最後兩個球季出賽受限，但他擁有罕見的速球：常速 92–94 英哩，最快可達 98 英哩，出手點極低、橫移角度寬，球帶著明顯的內側尾勁與上竄效果。

遊騎兵希望他能成為先發投手，但若有需要，他也可能在明年十月勝任高張力的後援任務。
