| Summary: Speed and on-base ability are the engines of the profile, and Williams leaned fully back into that identity in 2025. Fully healthy again, he reestablished elite strike-zone control with deep counts, strong walk rates, and disciplined swing decisions that allow his speed to drive impact. He’s not built around raw power, but the approach consistently puts him on base and creates pressure, turning singles and walks into scoring opportunities through baserunning and instincts. At the plate, the operation is compact and efficient. A controlled leg kick and clean lower-half usage help keep the swing short through the zone, with an emphasis on line drives and gap contact rather than selling out for lift. Bat speed and barrel feel are good enough to punish mistakes, especially when he gets extended pull-side, but contact versus spin — particularly breaking balls down and away — remains the main offensive checkpoint. Power shows up more as doubles pop and occasional lift than true home run output, and the overall ceiling likely tops out around average due to the frame. The approach, however, maximizes what’s there and keeps the floor high. The speed is a true carrying tool. He’s a double-plus runner with aggressive, efficient baserunning instincts, consistently taking extra bases and impacting games both out of the box and underway. Defensively, the athleticism translates across multiple spots — shortstop, second base, and center field — with improving footwork and range on the dirt. Throws can wander at times, but the arm plays well enough across positions, and the versatility adds real roster value. The end result is a high-probability everyday contributor whose impact comes from OBP, speed, and defensive flexibility rather than pure power. | |||||||||||
