Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams recorded his 13th save of the season on Saturday night as his club defeated the Yankees 4-1. The right-hander needed 12 pitches to retire the side in order as he got a groundout and a pair of strikeouts to take his ERA to a crisp 1.76 on the season. Williams hasn't given up more than one run in an outing since May 10 as he continues to work as the team's primary closer since the deadline departure of Josh Hader. His 0.94 WHIP and 86/25 K/BB through 56 1/3 will make him a desirable reliever option for drafters looking ahead to the 2023 season.
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams picked up his 10th save of the season in Monday's 6-4 win over the Rockies. Williams came into the game in the eighth inning up by two with two outs and the bases loaded. He induced a groundout to end the inning and stayed in to pitch the ninth. He allowed a leadoff walk, got the first out on a strikeout, and then induced a groundball double play to end the game. Williams hasn't necessarily served as the closer since Josh Hader was traded to the Padres, but he has been the team's go-to arm in high-leverage situations and is now 6-3 with 25 holds, only one blown save, a 1.72 ERA, and a 13.76 K/9 rate. Regardless of the lack of an official title, Williams is a top fantasy reliever down the stretch.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Devin Williams struck out the side over a scoreless inning to earn the save during Thursday's 5-3 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. The 27-year-old needed 12 pitches to notch his eighth save of the year. He hasn't allowed a run over his last seven appearances. The 2020 National League Rookie of the Year owns a 1.55 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 75:19 K: BB across 46 1/3 innings in 2022. Williams has performed well as Milwaukee's primary closer, and fantasy managers should continue to roll with the right-hander in all league formats.

Devin Williams has been arguably the best setup man in baseball for some time. When the Brewers traded away Josh Hader last Summer, Williams was able to settle in as the main closer and is set to have that role all to himself in 2023. In 2022, Williams had a career-high 60.2 IP with a 6-4 W-L record, 1.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 15 saves and 96 Ks. According to Statcast, Williams ranked first in xBA, xSLG and Barrel% in 2022 so there was nothing flukey about what he did last year. Since debuting in 2019, there has been 334 pitchers with at least 150 IP and only Hader and Edwin Diaz have a better K% than Williams (39.5%). You can look at his 12.5% BB% (fourth percentile) last year and be concerned but his ridiculous strikeout numbers and lack of quality contact he offers up will mitigate that. If you consider Williams has a 12.4% K% over the last two seasons yet still has a 2.20 ERA, 2.62 xFIP and 2.66 SIERA in that span, the walks should not put you off from drafting Williams. He's being taken as the sixth relief pitcher in drafts with an ADP of ~51 but it wouldn't come as a surprise if he ended the season as a top-3 closer and possibly end 2023 as the number one reliever in fantasy.
