Draft Prospects
-
A lanky, 6-foot-2, 177-pound righthander committed to Clemson, Williams showed some projection and an intriguing three-pitch mix last summer at East Coast Pro. At the event, Williams showed a fastball in the 87-91 mph range. Meanwhile, his curveball was in the mid-70s with three-quarter shape and impressive depth and spin in the 2,600-2,700 rpm range, while he also showed a low-80s changeup with some fading action. Those attributes made him a name to see during the spring, but scouts were underwhelmed with what he showed in the brief looks they had before the 2020 season shut down. His velocity dropped off and because of that Williams is a candidate to get to Clemson, where he could re-establish his stock for 2023.
