2016 Future Games Workout- Team Minnesota/Iowa/Nebraska had several standouts, but the 6-foot-4, 205-pound Williams showed to be one of the most impressive left-handed power bats of the day. For starters, he’s a monster in the box, and for his size, he’s remarkably balanced, easy and repeats. He creates leverage and natural loft in the swing, and the ball carries. There’s big juice in the bat with plenty more coming in the future. The 2019 registered a 91 mph exit velocity.
