SS/RHP Tyson Williams (Hononegah, IL, 2027) is another name who put together a solid two-way performance on Saturday. Offensively, Williams sets up with rhythm in the right-handed batters box, and utilizes a short, direct swing path to lift the ball to his middle and pull-side. During his round, Williams registered the hardest hit ball of the entire event at 86.1 mph, and he also averaged 75.1 mph as well. Defensively, Williams is a fluid mover on the infield and he pairs it with an arm that topped at 79 mph across the diamond, a noteworthy number for his age. Williams rounded off his day with a solid overall ‘pen where he topped at 77.2 mph with his fastball, coupling it with a 10/4 slider and a heavy running changeup. He is also a 7.05 runner in the 60, too.
