Best Rookie Performances in the World Series

Blue Jays rookie starter Trey Yesavage put up a masterful performance in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday. The 22-year-old rookie who began the 2025 season in Single A has not only gone on to start two World Series games, but struck out the Dodgers’ MVP and All-Star-laden lineup 12 times while giving up only one earned run and no walks.

Yesavage set the record for the most strikeouts by a rookie in a World Series game as he led Toronto to a 6–1 win and a 3–2 lead in the series.
