Devin Williams’ first five-plus years in the major leagues have been nothing less than fantastic. He won Rookie of the Year in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, when he had an ERA+ of 1,375. (I’m aware of small sample sizes and stuff, but that number is too fun to pass up). He had a great season as Josh Hader’s set-up man in 2021 and got even better when he moved into the closer role midway through the 2022 season. Williams’ ERA has increased every year from 2021 on. His devastating airbender is, when it’s on, arguably the best pitch in baseball.
The Brewers should (probably) trade Devin Williams
