Carson Williams News
Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Carson Williams was the team's first-round pick in the 2021 draft. He boasts a strong blend of offensive and defensive skills and is a fringe five-tool player. He showcases impressive power, runs well, and is such an excellent defender that he should have no trouble remaining at shortstop long-term. He can make an everyday impact in the field with his terrific range, glovework, and arm strength. Williams mounted a five-game hitting streak last week, going 10-for-19 with one homer, three RBI, two walks, and two strikeouts. Outside of the batting average above .500, this line doesn't seem otherworldly. However, he truly rounded out his big week by stealing four bases on five attempts. He spent limited time at Triple-A last year and will likely be on his way back to Durham sooner rather than later.
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Carson Williams hit two home runs in a 3-for-5 night with High-A Bowling Green on Saturday. The 20-year-old is slashing .251/.347/.499 with 23 home runs, 72 runs, 76 RBI, and 17 stolen bases through 108 games this season. The No. 19 prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, Williams' one glaring weakness is his poor bat-to-ball skills, with a 32% strikeout rate this season. The 2021 first-round pick is unlikely to see the majors soon, but his intriguing blend of power, defense, and speed at the shortstop position makes him a must-roster in the dynasty format.
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Carson Williams collected a career-high five hits on Sunday. The 21-year-old now boasts a .262/.359/.506 slash line with 18 home runs and 14 stolen bases through 88 games with High-A Bowling Green this season. His contact rate leaves something to be desired, but Williams' 60-grade power is exceptional for the shortstop position, in addition to standout defensive prowess. Williams is the second-ranked prospect in the Rays' farm system and the No. 19 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. He's likely a year or two away from a major-league debut, but Williams could expedite the journey if he can reduce his 30.9% strikeout rate.
