Williams may not evoke much when it comes to an eye test at present, but there is noticeable athleticism in how he moves with some twitchy quickness in his running stride, movements in the OF, and arm path when throwing that are strong for a player his age. While still more than a year away from high school and plenty of physical development before we see him on a varsity field, Williams gives the foundation and vibes of a player who can slot into a CF defensive position and provide solid to strong defense when he reaches that level if he continues on the developmental process he is building. At the plate, his swing is loose and athletic, with balance in the load and at launch to make a quick turn with his hips and a barrel/hand path that works directly to the ball with leverage through the zone. He showed sneaky strength with a USSSA bat in his hand, but the foundation of his offensive operation looks like one that will translate well to the BBCOR bat in the future, and as he fills out, his defensive profile flashes real upside as an RH hitter who shows a hit tool with sound bat-to-ball and barrel awareness at a young age.
