After early-season dominance, bullpen struggles a concern

Earlier this season, Missouri closer Breckin Williams described the back half of the Tigers’ bullpen as a “three-headed monster.”

This doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

Williams, along with senior Andrew Schwaab and junior Austin Tribby, was a dominant force late in games during non-conference play. Prior to the Tigers’ first Southeastern Conference game of the season, each owned exceptional earned runs averages (Tribby – 0.75, Williams – 0.96, Schwaab – 1.46), and in 24 combined appearances, the trio had surrendered just four runs. Williams was quickly climbing up draft boards each time he sprinted out from the left field corner.
