3 years agoMilwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams, who was the National League Reliever of the Year in 2020, has been working on a cutter/slider that breaks in the opposite direction from his changeup. The hard-throwing right-hander broke his new pitch out in spring action on Friday and struck out three straight Oakland Athletics hitters. "I don't know how much I'll use it," Williams said, "but it will be there somewhere, for sure." The 27-year-old threw the pitch eight times on Friday, all to left-handed hitters. His changeup is still his bread and butter, but Williams could be even more unhittable in 2022 if his new pitch continues to get those kind of results. Despite not being Milwaukee's closer, Williams remains fantasy relevant in all leagues for his strikeout stuff and for holds.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
