Wild Card Series - New York Mets v Milwaukee Brewers - Game 3 - Source: Getty
On Wednesday, the MLB official page on X (formerly Twitter) named closer Devin Williams as the "number one relief pitcher" in the majors. Several fans feel that the hype surrounding Williams does not actually translate to on-pitch performances, especially in high-pressure games.
Williams had a strong year with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2024, finishing the regular season with a 1-0 record, along with a 1.25 ERA and 38 strikeouts, accumulating 14 saves in the process.
The 30-year-old made a huge mistake in what was perhaps the Brewers' most crucial game of the season, when Pete Alonso homered off his fastball in the ninth inning of Game 3 of the wildcard series, eliminating the Brewers from the playoffs.
