Scouting Report: Devin Sweet

Summary

Devin Williams, the New York Mets closer, has rebounded from an early-season rough patch and is now finding his groove. After a slow start to the 2026 season, Williams has posted six consecutive scoreless outings with three saves, striking out eight of 17 batters faced while allowing just one baserunner. In his last 4.2 innings, he struck out six with zero walks and zero runs, allowing just one hit. The pitching coach has made minor tweaks to his mechanics, focusing on velocity and movement adjustments to his three-pitch arsenal (changeup, four-seam fastball, and cutter). His four-seam fastball velocity has decreased slightly from 94.1 to 93.4 mph compared to last year, but his overall performance has improved significantly. Williams is described as having a calm demeanor and is returning to elite form as the Mets' closer.
