View Draft Report

At 6-foot-5, 255 pounds, Williams is one of the biggest sluggers in college baseball in 2022, but he’s not a hitter who’s just looking to yank everything over the right field fence. He’s actually a pretty savvy hitter. He hit .335/.464/.622 with 13 home runs and 32 extra-base hits. Williams gets to his plus power more with strength and leverage than bat speed. His swing is actually more conducive to producing line drives than lofted fly balls. He uses the whole field and has a good understanding of the strike zone. He’s an average defender at first base and that is his best defensive profile barring a move to DH only.
