Toronto Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage became the latest MLB player to call out fan harassment after he said his family was "attacked" following his performance that led to the New York Yankees’ elimination from the American League Division Series. 

Yesavage, who set a franchise postseason record by striking out 11 batters in 5 1/3 no-hit innings in Game 2 of the ALDS, addressed the situation – unprompted – on Sunday before the AL Championship Series opener against Seattle.

"Living in this world where there’s so many different opinions and feelings which results in a lot of hate, it’s sad to see that people close to me are being attacked for my performances on the field," he began.

"These people have done nothing to warrant negativity for my actions, whether that’s my parents, my brothers, my girlfriend, family – it’s just really sad."  

Yesavage went on to say that while fans are entitled to their opinions, family and friends should not be targeted. 

"I know I have the platform to address it, so I am. I hope that people can realize that those individuals have nothing to do with what happens on the field. If you have a problem, I’m a man. I can take whatever opinions anybody has about me or my life. So I just wanted to get that out there."
