Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams tried to lighten the mood on Thursday by sharing a clip of him striking out an over-matched batter on Twitter.
Williams, pitching to his son, quipped that he was on pace for 27 strikeouts today.

One fan tripped to make a quip about Williams not being much of a hitter but the pitcher was ready with some stats.
I hit .167 last year, TYVM

Williams is hardly the only player sharing videos and photos with his children on social media as Major League Baseball adjusts with a delayed start to the season.
