View Draft Report
His younger brother J.D. Williams isn't quite as fast as his brother, more of an above-average runner than a true burner, and has a chance to stay in the infield. He has more feel for hitting as well, and some scouts believe he can stay at shortstop. Others see him at second base and like his power potential. He's a better prospect than his brother, who was overrated her a year ago, but is also already 19. The 6-foot, 185-pounder signed with Maryland.
