From Bryan Hoch:
It was right here just a handful of weeks ago that Devin Williams and his “Airbender” changeup were a must-see attraction for Yankees players and coaches, who gathered on a practice diamond at the George M. Steinbrenner Field complex for their first looks at one of baseball’s most devastating offerings.
It did not fail to impress, yet Williams’ first month of regular-season duty as the club’s new closer has been bumpier than anyone expected. Assigned to protect a four-run lead in the ninth inning on Saturday, Williams faltered, coughing up the advantage in a 10-8 loss to the Rays decided by Jonathan Aranda’s walk-off homer an inning later.
As I said, Devin Williams and Cody Bellinger so far are not beating the bum allegations.
