Trey Yesavage has spoken out against baseball fans who have been harassing his family and girlfriend during the Major League Baseball playoffs. Yesavage, set to pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, addressed the issue in a press conference on Sunday.
Expressing his disappointment, Yesavage highlighted the unfair attacks on his loved ones due to his on-field performances. Following his impressive pitching performance against the New York Yankees, where he struck out 11 batters, he revealed that his family had been receiving negative messages, although he did not specify the source.
During the press conference, Yesavage emphasized that his family and girlfriend should not face backlash for his actions on the field. He asserted his ability to handle criticism but urged people to respect his loved ones.
Although Blue Jays manager John Schneider was unaware of the abuse, he praised Yesavage for speaking up and standing by his family. Schneider commended the young pitcher for using his platform to address the issue and supported him in defending his loved ones from unwarranted negativity.
