Scouting Report

Assets
  • His terrific change-up makes his low-90's heat look more impressive. He's effective against hitters from both sides.
Flaws
  • Endurance is the No. 1 thing Williams needs to work on. Along with that, he could stand to improve his arsenal beyond the fastball and change-up.
Career Potential
  • A good mid-rotation starter if given the chance.
