Figured I'd give this a bump for Devin's first save of 2021. He's also rounded into form nicely since a slow start...

 

First 7 Games: 6.2 IP | 6.75 ERA | 10 K | 6 BB | 1.015 OPS against

Last 35 Games: 31.2 IP | 1.71 ERA | 52 K | 17 BB | .520 OPS against

Real glad he turned it around. I was going be really bummed if the 1-2 punch of Hader/Williams was gone just like that.

Kind makes sense with Hader but still surprising he never got one when Josh was unavailable or just lucked into one.

Nice catch. Assumed Devin got one at some point last year, but I guess there weren't that many games to save. Just checked & Alex Claudio was the only reliever besides Hader to save a game for the Brewers in 2020.

Devin has thrown six more scoreless innings since the last bump giving him 37.2 IP | 1.43 ERA | 60 K | 17 BB since his slow start to the season.

 

He & Hader now have the 2020-21 reliever leaderboards pretty much on lock...
