Quick twitch athleticism defines Williams’ game as he displayed high-speed hands through the zone. At 5-foot-9.5, Williams has plenty of time to grow into a great athlete. With this upside, he is highly projectable as an all-around hitter with quality fielding mechanics in the MIF. Two-way potential was shown as a three-pitch mix of FB, SL and CB worked effectively. The FB has natural arm side run and the SL flashed very tight spin. As he enters Wesleyan’s HS system, Williams is set to develop quickly.
