Drafted from the University of Missouri, Devin Williams had a delated start with a UCL tear and subsequent Tommy John Surgery, but he debuted for the Brewers in 2019, and was in the Futures Game.
COVID-19 ravaged the 2020 season, but Williams, who was still rookie eligible, had a phenomenal year, winning the Rookie of the Year with a 0.33 ERA over 27 Innings, and was the best set-up man in Baseball. Williams continued with another good year in 2021 (8-2, 2.50 ERA), and was an All-Star in 2022 and 2023, moving more towards a closer role with Josh Hader departing the team.
Williams, who won the TSN Pitcher of the Year in 2020 and 2023, left Milwaukee when he was traded to the New York Yankees after the 2024 Season, and departs as one of the great relievers in Milwaukee history.
