Devin Williams was born on September 21, 1994, in St. Louis, Missouri. Standing at 6'2" and weighing 200 pounds, Williams showed promise as a pitcher from a young age. Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round of the 2013 MLB Draft, he quickly made a name for himself in the minor leagues with his impressive fastball and changeup combination, setting the stage for his future success in the majors.
Williams is known for his dominant pitching style, characterized by his devastating changeup, often referred to as the 'Airbender.' This pitch has been instrumental in his ability to rack up strikeouts and maintain a low ERA. His fastball complements his changeup, creating a challenging mix for opposing hitters. Williams's ability to deceive batters with his pitch movement and velocity makes him a formidable reliever in high-pressure situations.
Williams made his MLB debut with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019 but truly broke out in the 2020 season. That year, he posted a remarkable 0.33 ERA over 27 innings, earning him the National League Rookie of the Year Award and the Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year Award. His performance was a key factor in the Brewers' bullpen success, and he continues to be a vital asset for the team.
