Andrew Williamson
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
As a competitive balance round B pick with corner-outfield tools, Williamson projects most realistically as a power-oriented right fielder whose ultimate role will depend on how much the hit tool and plate discipline can be polished. The raw power and arm strength provide a plausible path to an up-down or bench profile, with upside toward second-division regular if contact quality improves and strikeouts are kept in check. His athleticism is good enough to stay in the outfield, but the offensive bar in a corner is high, so failing to reach at least near-average offensive contribution would likely cap him as depth. Development will hinge on shortening the swing, refining zone control, and learning to adjust sequencing from at-bat to at-bat, particularly versus left-handed pitching and quality spin. Given conservative evaluation principles and early pro results, the most guarded expectation is a player who reaches the upper minors with a shot at spot MLB time rather than a lock to become an everyday starter.
