Alex Williams

Williams is one of the top available senior signs in the 2022 draft class. He's been part of Stanford's rotation for four seasons and went 8-4, 3.20 in 18 starts this spring to win the Pac-12 pitcher of the year award. Nothing in Williams’ pitch mix stands out on its own, but everything plays up with his over-the-top delivery and above-average control and command. His fastball sits 88-92 mph and is a fringy pitch, but it pairs well with his above-average, upper-70s changeup. He has lots of confidence in his changeup and will throw it in any count against both lefties and righties. His low-80s slider and mid-70s curveball are both fringy pitches with more depth than sweep. Williams throws everything for strikes and knows how to avoid barrels and keep hitters off balance. He will need to add more velocity to be more than an organizational pitcher, but his experience and savvy should allow him to quickly move to full-season ball as a starter.
