TJ
Williams

True Freshman. Formerly ranked No. 71 in Wisconsin’s 2022 class. Undersized build but has game-changing speed, recording a 6.30 in the 60-yard dash. Line-drive approach at the plate from the left-side. Athletic actions on the infield with quick hands and plus range in all directions. Reached up to 82 mph across the diamond. Spark Plug type player with an exciting style of play. 

A spark plug in a small package, Williams ran an event best 6.38 in the 60, such an impressive time we had him run it again which he posted a 6.5 with a less than ideal start out of the box. His speed plays in game too where he’s always looking to put pressure on the opposing battery and takes a quality at bat approach that sees pitches and will make a pitcher work at the top of the lineup.
