Austin Williamson, Grayson (GA), 2024
Positional Profile: SS/3B
Body: 6-2, 165-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Tall upright stance with a leg kick load. Good timing and rhythm. Stays well connected and uses his entire body on the swing. 61.8 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 81.5 mph. 248' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Quick, clean action. Can flip it from any angle.
Defense: Smooth, soft hands. Athletic mover with the ability to range in any direction.
ATH: 6.96 runner in the 60. 1.63 and 3.80 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 155 pounds. This is the prototype athlete you look for at premium defensive positions that require speed, range and arm strength (CF, SS). But what is lacking on most HS teams are those types of athletes in the corner OF and 3B. This is a very important part of what Williamson brings to the table. There’s definitely an element of rawness to his game, but there’s even more electricity. He’s a high energy hitter with plenty of intent who brings A/AVG or better speed to the table. You like the rhythm, compactness in hands, and he creates very explosive lower half momentum by gaining ground in stride while still keeping the backside connected. Austin had an RBI triple that broke the game open, but made just as much of an impact on the mound with his live mid 80’s FB and sharp breaking ball. He went multiple scoreless innings and showed an impressive feel to pitch. It will be exciting to see how his velocity progresses on the mound, and how his offensive game improves over the summer.
