Blue Jays’ Trey Yesavage’s girlfriend Taylor Frick gives major shoutout after electrifying 11K postseason debut in Game 2

Toronto Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage tossed a gem in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, helping them to a comfortable 13-7 win. The rookie went 5.1 hitless innings, with 11 strikeouts, and gave up only one walk.

Yesavage's outstanding start was celebrated by the Blue Jays fans in attendance at the Rogers Centre with a standing ovation as he walked back to the dugout. But back in East Carolina, Trey's biggest fan, his girlfriend, Taylor Frick, cheered him on as he made the most important start of his short professional career.

Frick took to her Instagram to express her joy at watching her partner. She posted a picture with her friend, Trinity Dunlap, with Blue Jays hats on.

"Blue Jays biggest fans, in Wilmington, North Carolina. Let's Go 39!!!" Frick captioned.

After Yesavage was called back by John Schneider into the dugout, Frick posted a snap from her TV set, showcasing the 22-year-old right-hander earning the appreciation from the Blue Jays faithful.

"LFGGG baby!! I'm so freaking proud of you," Frick wrote as caption.

Frick and Yesavage's lives have changed massively since last year when he was drafted by Toronto 20th overall in the MLB Draft. He started his career in the Low-A leagues, playing for three more teams before getting his major league debut just three weeks prior to his first postseason start.

The couple attended East Carolina University, with Taylor graduating this year while Trey turned professional after his junior year. Their first public post was made by Frick on December 12, 2023, on her Instagram account.

Yesavage faced 18 batters from the Yankees lineup and struck out 11 of them, including 8 on a deadly splitter. His only blip came in the first inning when he walked Yankees captain Aaron Judge. Blue Jays are one win away from progressing to the AL Championship Series.
