    Williamson was named to back-to-back All-CAA first teams in 2021 and 2022 with William & Mary, but he went undrafted after his 2022 junior campaign and returned for his senior season. That was great for the program, as Williamson turned in a career-year and was named the CAA player of the year. He hit .390/.513/.662 with 12 home runs, 11 doubles and a 15.2% walk rate and 8.4% strikeout rate. Williamson has always shown impressive zone control for his college career and his overall hitting traits are superlative. He hits the ball hard, with an 89 mph average exit velocity, doesn’t chase much out of the zone and made contact at an 87% rate this spring. Williamson has also developed a strong reputation for his defensive ability at third base. He’s spent some time at shortstop in college, but has the tools for the hot corner, with solid range laterally and on slow-rollowers in front, and solid-average arm strength for the position as well. After the season, Williamson played for Hyannis in the Cape Cod League and looked like one of the best hitters on the circuit in the first few weeks. Williamson turns 23 years old in November, but he makes a well-rounded senior target coming off a career offensive season.
