""You've got two things going on at the same time, which are a tough combination... he's getting unlucky. His batting average on balls in play is too high. It's unsustainable.""
""There's a mental component to this right now... the vibes aren't where they need to be in the stadium when he's coming into the game. The snowball's kind of rolling the wrong direction.""
Adam Ottavino empathizes with struggling reliever Devin Williams, noting that his poor performance stems from a high batting average on balls in play and execution issues. Williams' luck is compounded by an elevated ERA and intense pressure from fans. Ottavino suggests that Williamsâ mental state is also affected by the crowd's expectations and calls for a supportive approach from Yankees manager Aaron Boone to help Williams regain his confidence and performance, as he believes in Williams' elite talent and potential for a comeback.
