John
Williams

Williams is a projectable 6-foot-5, 190 pound right-handed hitting corner infield prospect. He hit out of an even stance with the hands set high. The load begins with a leg kick to stack the weight over the back side before whipping the bat-head through the hitting zone on an uphill path. The ball jumps off Williams’ bat, as evident with his 90 MPH exit velocity. His long limbs also create leverage with his swing and shows he can drive the ball gap to gap with authority.

Williams is still working through some offseason rehab for his shoulder, so he did not throw at this event. He did take ground balls and showed good feet, with soft hands working through a range of ground balls. He moves well laterally and transitions well through the play.

6-foot-3, 180-pound right-handed pitcher. I really like how the arm works and the frame on this player. The projectability is obvious and he should be a good one down the line. The fastball touched 76 mph with a downhill plane at times. The spin pitch is big in shape at times, sitting 60-61 mph. The changeup is a work in progress, sitting 66-67 mph. The delivery is solid in tempo and he gathers and at the top, tracks the front shoulder and inverts the back hip. The arm is clean and free. Big follow in the 2024 class.

 6-foot-2, 170 pound right-handed pitcher is physically impressive.  The wiry middle schooler has a strong frame and a fluid right arm.  The delivery uses short, controlled movements to get balanced over the back leg.  As he works down the mound, he uses his long limbs to look as if he is right on top of hitters.  The arm slot is a higher ¾ slot and produces late arm side run on a fastball that sat 70-72 mph.  He showed a breaking ball with good spin at 61-63 mph.  His best looking secondary pitch was the change-up.  The pitch had late sinking action and the velocity was in a good range at 64-65 mph. 

This is a right-hander to keep an eye on.  The arm-swing is fluid. I’m excited to follow his development.
