Williams, N

Mound Visit.
In play, out(s) (83.5 mph curveball)

Nick Williams flies out to right fielder Michael Conforto.

Absolutely terrible at-bat by Williams. Syndergaard’s struggling to throw strikes, so Williams swings at the first pitch and pops it up into shallow right field. The collective stupidity of this team is off the charts.

Didn't Williams K on 3 pitches last at bat? Maybe he saw more, not sure.

Kruk was speculating that the pitching coach trip to the mound before Williams' AB suggested that Syndergaard would throw a fast ball, and that that might be the only fast ball that Williams would get. Williams may have been thinking the same as Kruk. Syndergaard may have surprised him with the curve.
