Trevor Williams, who’s averaged 90.2 MPH on his 4-seam fastball, (which he’s thrown 48.8% of the time), this season, (with opposing hitters hitting .232 on the pitch), hit 93.0 MPH with the heater on the road in Atlanta, GA, in what was a one run game (2-1 in the Braves’s favor) through most of his outing (after he gave up two runs on a two-run home run in the bottom of the first). His manager noticed Williams’ stuff playing up a bit in a competitive game.
“He was a little bit amped up,” Martinez said after what ended up a 6-2 win for Washington’s Nationals.
