Brewers Devin Williams may have been tipping his pitches before crushing Pete Alonso homer

Devin Williams may have given the Mets just the slightest bit of information they needed to exploit the former All-Star closer and extend their miracle run.Williams potentially tipped his pitches during his fateful ninth inning that saw him surrender a two-run lead by allowing four runs in the Mets’ dramatic 4-2 Game 3 win, as theorized in a breakdown by Jomboy Media and corroborated by former Twins infielder and Jomboy Media analyst Trevor Plouffe.The evidence presented by James “Jomboy” O’Brien shows Williams holding his glove slightly different when throwing his changeup and his fastball, which could have provided the small window the Mets needed since Williams relied exclusively on those two pitches Thursday night.Williams’ changeup is one of the most devastating pitches in the sport, but even the best of pitches loses some of its effectiveness if a batter knows its coming.The closer threw 17 changeups and 17 four-seamers (fastballs) Thursday, relying on his bread and butter to try to close out a 2-0 game entering the ninth inning.When Williams threw his fastball, his glove appeared to be closer to his face and his right hand appeared to be deeper in his glove compared to both positions for his changeup.The glove also appeared to be flatter for his changeup.O’Brien noted the different grips needed for a change-up versus the four-seamer playing a role in why the glove positioning would be different for the pitches.He posted a text exchange with Plouffe of his theory, which included the former MLBer responding: “Def see some flat glove stuff.”Francisco Lindor, who led off the inning with a walk, saw five fastballs and three changeups in his plate appearance before Williams fanned Mark Vientos on four pitches, three being changeups.Brandon Nimmo saw three changeups in his at-bat and singled on an 0-2 changeup down in the zone that perhaps caught more of the plate than Williams wanted.Before Pete Alonso came to the plate, Mets hitting coach Jeremy Ba...
