Starting pitching is the name of the game in baseball. When a team gets strong starting pitching they are going to win more games than they lose. Since MLB’s All-Star Break ended no starting pitcher has been better than the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Trevor Williams.
In 11 starts since the All-Star Break Williams owns a 1.08 ERA and a 3.02 FIP in 66 2/3 innings pitched. This gives Williams the lowest post-break ERA in Pirate history and the second lowest in National League history.
This success for Williams is no fluke. In fact, his success as a starting pitcher dates back to May of 2017.
