School: Florida State Drafted/Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 20.9

BA Grade: 45/High

Williams started his career with Alabama, where he hit .320 in 16 games as a freshman in 2023. He transferred to Florida State for two seasons and settled in as the team’s everyday center fielder and three-hole hitter in 2025. He’s hit over .300 in each season of his college career and owns a career .316/.389/.585 slash line with 33 home runs, an 18.5% strikeout rate and a 7.8% walk rate. Williams stands at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds but has a smaller zone than his height would suggest thanks to a crouched and spread batting stance. It’s an odd look, but one that leads to lots of hard contact and exit velocities up to 115 mph. Williams is an aggressive hitter. He likes to frequently swing the bat, both on pitches in the zone and often on pitches beyond it. He has fringy pure contact skills and his inability to hold back on secondary pitches out of the zone means he doesn’t walk too frequently. Williams is a solid runner who can turn in an above-average time here and there, but he’s not a burner and has never been active as a base stealer. He could be a fair defender in center but with his speed he might fit better in a corner, and his above-average arm strength could make right field an option.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 40 | Power: 55 | Run:50 | Field: 50 | Arm: 55.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Williams is a 6-foot-2, 207-pound outfielder who played briefly with Alabama during his 2023 freshman season before transferring to Florida State for the 2024 season where he hit .311/.384/.582 with 14 home runs. Williams uses an extremely crouched and hunched over setup in the box and is an aggressive, pull-happy hitter who can put a charge into the ball but also frequently expands the zone on bad pitches. His swing can help him get out of the box and down the line quickly but he’s more of a solid runner than a true burner while underway and has played both left and center field.
