It’s official. Make it three straight seasons that a Milwaukee Brewers reliever took home the NL Reliever of the Year award.
As MLB’s 2020 Spring Training was beginning to wind down, there was a relatively good chance that Brewers rookie reliever Devin Williams would start his season in the minors. That’s what makes his most recent honor that much more incredible.
MLB awards season continued on Saturday with the announcement of the AL and NL relievers of the year. And to the surprise of exactly no one who paid attention to baseball this season, Williams brought home some hardware that has become very familiar in Milwaukee.
