Devin Williams reached 500 career strikeouts during the New York Mets' 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday at Citi Field. The milestone marks a significant achievement for the reliever in his eighth major league season.
Williams spent six seasons with Milwaukee (2019-2024) before joining the Yankees in 2025. He appeared in 13, 22, 58, 65, 61, and 22 games respectively during his tenure with the Brewers, then played 67 games with New York last season before joining the Mets in 2026.
Across his MLB career as a whole, Williams has appeared in 333 games with a 34-18 record, 500 strikeouts, 95 saves, and a 2.65 ERA over 319.7 innings pitched — figures that span three organizations.
The victory improved the Mets' record as Williams continues his 2026 campaign with an 8-save performance through 24 appearances. Williams has compiled a 3-2 record with 33 strikeouts this season.
Williams could reach 100 career saves this season, needing just five more to achieve that milestone. The 500-strikeout mark represents eight seasons of major league service across three organizations since his 2019 debut.
