Julian Wiliams

Julian Wiliams is a speedy centerfielder with a cannon for an arm, the kind of "toolsy" athlete that scouts think may be able to develop some baseball skills. He didn't seem to have great bat speed when I saw him in Oneonta, but very few of the Muckdogs actually hit the ball hard at all in those games. Williams played some in the GCL last year, and is struggling so far in the NYPL season with the bat. He looked very good in CF defensively, getting good breaks on balls, hitting the cut-off man, and using his exceptional speed to cover lots of ground.
