But nine months in, his ERA’s stuck at 4.66, nearly identical to last year, and he’s sidelined with a sore shoulder. Williams admits it’s been a rollercoaster — great streaks mixed with “expletive terrible” outings — but still sees more positives than negatives. Despite the struggles, he’s locked in as the Mets’ Opening Day closer, with no one else signed to that role. With velocity down and bullpen depth thin, Williams believes the team just needs to execute — and he’s ready to lead them there.
