It's all future projection with Williams, who is a tooled-up, switch-hitting outfielder with plus speed and developing power. He's been hurt this spring, however, and he hasn't been great on the field, leaving a lot of guesswork for teams as to what he'll become in the future. Williams showed some flashes over the summer showcase circuit, including a game during the East Coast Pro showcase when he tripled from the left side off a 91 mph fastball from Lineras Torres Jr. Unfortunately, scouts also had poor looks at Williams over the summer, including early at Perfect Game's National Showcase, where Williams looked out of sync defensively with poor reads in the outfield and was outmatched at the plate. He has arm strength, but he needs to iron out his mechanics and footwork to get the most out of it. Williams feels like a player who could benefit from going to Mississippi State, getting more reps and adding strength before going to pro ball.
