Trending upward at the right time is INF Eric Williams (Fort Zumwalt East, 2024), who played a major role in the Lions’ state run this spring and recently stood out as a winner from the Top Prospect Games: Underclass event. Williams’ flashed the potency attached to his right-handed stroke in BP, finding the barrel to all fields and in all quadrants of the zone while reaching a 93 mph max, averaging 86 mph of the bat. He started his round by squaring his first few balls up to the pull-side, including a high-and-in pitch that he comfortably stayed inside of, and shifted to working the other way with authority towards the end. Williams continues to prove he’s one of the state’s most physical right-handed hitters and there’s certainly an arrow-up next to his name at the moment.
