Gavin Williams Set To Make MLB Debut Wednesday
1 year agoCleveland Guardians pitching prospect Gavin Williams will be promoted for his MLB debut on Wednesday versus the Oakland A's. The 23-year-old has dominated in 12 starts between Double-A and Triple-A this season, tossing 60 1/3 innings of 2.39 ERA ball along with a hefty 81 strikeouts in that time. Williams' control took a turn for the worse after being promoted to Triple-A where he owns an 11.5% BB% in nine starts but he continues to rack up strikeouts to the tune of a 33.3% clip at the minors' highest level. He couldn't ask for a better matchup for his big-league debut as the A's rank dead last with a .288 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season.
