Carson Williams

Hitting scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

Williams projects as a defense-first everyday shortstop with enough power to remain playable even if the hit tool settles below average. The path to an above-average regular outcome runs through modest strikeout reduction and better contact quality on pitches he can drive, because the glove and arm already provide a high floor for lineup inclusion. If the bat only reaches fringe-average contact, he still has a chance to stay in the lineup at short because the defense is impact-level and the power is real. The downside is that the offensive profile could stall in a low-average, swing-and-miss lane if pitchers continue to beat him with spin and sequencing.
