4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams allowed two earned runs over an inning of relief in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates. Williams allowed just one earned run all season and was named NL Rookie of the Year in 2020, but he has now given up at least one earned run in three of his four appearances in 2021. A late start to the spring could be the primary cause of his issues, and according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in an effort to build Williams up, manager Craig Counsell is going to use him on a more regular basis for the time being, as opposed to only in setup situations in front of closer Josh Hader. When Williams is right, he has the ability to be an elite pitcher with a massive strikeout upside. He's worth monitoring as the seaon progresses. He holds more value in leagues the value holds.--James Stokke
