Williams impressed against Pinole Valley on both sides of the diamond, going 1-2 with a hustle double and closing the game striking out the side. Williams has an aggressive approach at the plate, swinging early in counts and is ready for every single pitch. His load is always on time, allowing him to not be fooled by offspeed and ready for the fastball. Williams has quick hands and a flat bat path, which creates the opportunity for him to hit line drives and really backspin the baseball. He has a great approach and is not trying to pull off the baseball, as he showed with his 2b up the middle. He stays inside pitches well and as a baserunner, looks to take the next bag. In a 3-1 ball game with a runner on first, he was called to close the game. Immediately I noticed his confidence and ability to get the job done. Williams relied on his fastball that sat around 83-85, mixing in his changeup and slider making batters uncomfortable in the box. He has a quick tempo and great control of the zone as he is able to locate any pitch he throws. He is able to throw offspeed at any point in the count as he showed that in this matchup. His final pitching line was 1.0 IP, 3Ks, and a save. Williams is comfortable on both sides of the field and makes a huge impact on the game.
