Scouting Report: Gavin Williams

Summary

Gavin Williams, Cleveland Guardians right-handed pitcher, has experienced recent inconsistency through nine starts. After allowing five earned runs on 10 hits in a loss to the Twins (May 11), Williams acknowledged his slider felt off and took accountability for poor pitch selection. He also gave up five runs on eight hits in an earlier loss to the Royals (May 6). Despite these recent struggles, Williams maintains a 5-3 record with a 3.74 ERA and 66 strikeouts across 55.1 innings. His career ERA of 3.57 over four seasons demonstrates he is generally a reliable pitcher. The main concern is inconsistency in recent starts, with three of his last four outings yielding at least five earned runs and nine baserunners.
