Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams is a 2021 fantasy baseball draft value. His ADP is undervalued, making him a potential draft bargain and late-round sleeper to target.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 150
CURRENT ADP: ~167 overall
ANALYSIS: It's no surprise that Williams is one of the highest non-closer relievers being drafted now after his insane 2020 season that saw him win the NL Rookie of the Year Award and finish seventh in the Cy Young race. Obviously, the strikeouts were a big deal for Williams, posting a 53 percent strikeout rate and a 22.3 percent swinging strike rate — the highest in the majors among pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched — but part of his success also came from his ability to induce groundballs. Opponents averaged a 2.4 degree launch angle against Williams, as he posted a 61.1 percent ground ball rate.
It will be hard to match these numbers in 2021, but Williams should still be one of the top bullpen targets for fantasy managers, as he can be a solid contributor to strikeouts, ERA and WHIP and he should be able to pick up a handful of saves along the way.
