Gavin Williams's curveball led him to a successful rookie season with the Cleveland Guardians.
Gavin WilliamsWilliams had a four-pitch mix that he used to keep opposing hitters on their toes. He threw a four-seam fastball, slider, curveball, and changeup. Each was effective in its own right, but one stood above the rest.
Opposing hitters had trouble making contact off this offspeed pitch all season. Williams's curveball had a Whiff% of 35.2 and K% of 30.2. Each of these is the highest among his four pitches by a large margin. As effective as this pitch was, Williams didn't throw his curveball the most. Only 235 of his 1,386 pitches were the curveballs. He threw his fastball and slider substantially more, but that doesn't mean they were better.
