Yhoiker Fajardo - Autographed Baseball

Description

This ball was signed by Yhoiker Fajardo during his 2025 season with the Salem Red Sox.

Yhoiker is the #13 Prospect in the Cardinals organization, according to MLB Pipeline.

Here's what MLB Pipeline has to say about Yhoiker:

Fajardo signed with the White Sox for $400,000 in February 2024 and has been a steady performer ever since, starting with his 26 percent K/BB rate in the Dominican Summer League that first season. The industry has taken notice as he's been acquired in trades twice before his 20th birthday. The first came when he was moved to the Red Sox for the DFA'd Cam Booser in December 2024, and then one year later -- after climbing to Single-A in his first stateside season -- when he was traded to the Cardinals as part of the Willson Contreras deal.

After adding strength, the 6-foot-3 right-hander pushed his four-seamer and two-seamer up to the 93-95 mph range, touching 96, before his move to the Cardinals. A lack of standout movement made them easier to touch at Single-A, but the velocity trajectory is promising. For now because the fastballs don't really pop, Fajardo has leaned heavily on his mid-80s slider. He's able to wear out the low, gloveside area with that breaking ball, and it could be a future plus pitch. Fajardo also delivers plenty of whiffs with his 85-87 mph changeup with fading action, and he appropriately ran equal splits in '25 because of it.

Fajardo was pushed so aggressively by Boston because his control was more advanced than most 18-year-old pitchers (with many of them still pitching in American high schools). The chase on his secondaries helps him deliver strikes consistently, though that could be challenged when he reaches the Majors. There is an argument to be made for him as the headline of the return in the Contreras trade considering his ceiling as a potential No. 4 starter.
