Plus fade and tumble; plus arm deception, replicates the fastball arm slot and comes out of the fastball tunnel; will lose the release point and miss down with the offering; developing feel for the pitch; potential bat-misser at the highest level against left- and right-handed hitters. |

Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2nd round of the 2013 MLB June Amateur Draft from Hazelwood West HS (Hazelwood, MO).
Williams is a projectable pitcher who has made advancements from last year. At present Williams flashes plus stuff and a tenuous grasp on command but his repeatable mechanics and athletic delivery allow for projecting solid average command. Williams projects to add good weight as well and he will have a sturdy, starter's frame when he fills out. With a command jump Williams can become a 3 starter.
