Yesavage's arsenal is about as good as it gets. His four-seam has plus carry from his vertical slot, it gets up to 97 and gets a good amount of swings-and-misses. His mid-to-upper-80s cutter has late life and depth, almost like a gyro-slider. It has wrong way movement occasionally but it's usually firm and he can land it consistently. His low-80s banger is the better breaker, it has minimal lateral movement but sharp depth. Great pitch with platoon neutral profile. It gets as hard as 85 and when it's 83–85 nobody touches it. CH in the low-80s doesn't fade much; it can tumble when it gets near home, splitter qualities to it. Every pitch in the mix is average or better and the CB grades out the best as a plus pro pitch.
Jenkins-Cowart is a wildcard in the box, the approach is aggressive and oftentimes too aggressive, but when he gets into a pitch he blasts it. It has above-average raw power and the size to hammer the ball. Despite the lenghty build, he has solid bat-to-ball skills and unsurprisingly he gets to a lot of pitches. He's a good athlete that can play the corners, if he can get to his power more often there's an everyday big league role waiting for him. It's a wide range of outcomes and the swing decisions are what is getting in the way of a middle-of-the-order type. He hasn't been the most productive college hitter thus far and his dozen or games on the Cape didn't help his case but there's plenty to like about the body/tools.
