That’s Williams, just ahead of Jacob deGrom, in getting the highest percentage of called strikes and swinging strikes on the night. He had all five of his pitches working, with at least four of those called strikes/whiffs coming on each of his five pitches – four-seamer, sinker, changeup, curveball, slider. It just all worked for him.
One of the best parts about Williams’ outing, in addition to the strike and strikeouts, obviously, is that he allowed just ONE ball in play that, based on the quality of contact, had a better than .400 expected batting average (the single he gave up to Avisail Garcia that ended his night). He had a whopping eight balls in play that had xBA of .170 or under (i.e., terrible contact).
