Age At Draft: 22.8
Williams is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound shortstop with blazing, 70-grade speed. He’s been an offensive table-setter and reliable defender at shortstop for Toledo for two seasons, and in 2023 he hit .403/.467/.681, with a career-high 14 home runs and led Division I with 49 stolen bases. Despite his jump in power from three homers to 14, Williams doesn’t project as a power hitter at the next level, with 40-grade power. He’s also probably more of a fringe-average hitter thanks to high chase rates and contact questions against secondary pitches. He was named to the 2022 MAC All-Defensive Team at shortstop, but in pro ball he might be a better fit at second base. Wherever he winds up, his game will be based around his double-plus running ability.
