The last day's news about Milwaukee Brewers' layout pitcher Devon Williams was in early October, and after the Brewers locked the national high school dragon head, Williams was celebrating with a heavy hammer on the wall with her right hand, causing a fracture. That was his bowler, who was assessed at the time that he would definitely miss two rounds of the playoffs, and that he might return if the Brewers hit the World Series.
It's a shame we didn't see Williams in November, and the Brewers' weak playing line didn't last until Williams returned, and they were killed by the Warriors in just one round. No one knows how far the Williams-owned Brewers will go, first, their problem is not with pitchers, and second, with shed pitchers having limited influence in games like playoffs.
But from the data point of view, Williams is indeed the most dominant pitcher in the major leagues in the past two years, in the 2020 season, his 27.0 innings of the ERA was as low as 0.33, a total of only eight hits, while soaring 53 three strikes, the three strikes rate of 53%. At the end of the season, he was not only elected the best rookie in the League of Nations, but also ranked seventh in the Cy young prize vote, and even won the vote from the MVP.
Admittedly, Williams' stats are difficult to maintain for that long, but he also soared 87 three-hits in the 54.0 innings this year, with a 2.50 SELF-defeat score, making him a very solid protection in front of Joshhead.
Three months later, Williams spoke about the matter for the first time, and he did not go into too much detail, saying only that he was a little upset by the quarrel at the team's celebration meeting, but Williams also said that he did not vent to the man, but walked away from the wall of the hammer after that.
A few days later, Williams finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and he knew how much trouble his teammates had been caused by his injury. "Well....I think people can understand what I'm trying to say, it's really tough."
Despite this, Williams has not been completely caught up in endless self-blame in the past three months, and one person has played a key role, and that is his teammate Hunter Strickland. He had similar behavior back in 2018 when Hentrekland played for the Giants, telling Williams, "You have to forgive yourself or you're just holding yourself back."
Williams said he listened to Strickland' words, "I had a month and a half to sit there, and I couldn't do anything at that time, and I was disappointed in myself. But if I keep like that, I will be completely lost and will not move forward."
At the moment, Williams is close to recovering, and he will certainly be able to stand on the pitcher's hill intact before the start of spring training to prepare for the 2022 season. He knows he's an integral part of the team and he'll be on his way to the fifth consecutive playoff with the Brewers.
