Top Performer Spotlight: 2019 C Colin Williams (East Syracuse Minoa)

ENY All-Star Games (September 17, 2017) Standing 5-foot-11, 170-pounds with an athletic appearance. Very relaxed setup, wide stance, slight toe tap back for timing with front stride, little to no load. Hips drive forward, aggressive hands, compact and short to the ball, generates raw power to pull-side, barrel path is mostly level through contact with full finish, 84 mph exit velocity on the day (up to 89 mph earlier in summer), fluid and repeatable, next-level bat and approach. Catching, receives with confidence and large target. Transfer is clean on throws with short arm-action, slight hitch (needs to clean arm-action up a bit to help lower pop-time), throws were accurate with a pop-time ranging 1.98-2.01 with a 73 mph arm on the day. Overall, we have seen Williams several times and each time we become more impressed. There's no doubt he's working hard at his game and his performances are shining because of that. Cleaning up the arm-action will help improve his pop-time and overall body strength will also aid in his development. Fun player to continue to watch grow.
