Trevor Williams

Williams is a bit like Ryan Eades, in that his size and stuff would lead you to believe that he would produce big strikeout numbers. In two years as a starter for the Sun Devils, however, Williams has struck out about 5.5batters per nine innings. He has a workhorse build at 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds, with an athletic delivery. He relies on a two-seam fastball that sits in the 90-91 mph range and can dial his four-seamer up to 95 when he needs it. Hischangeup is his best secondary offering. He throws both a slider and a curveball that are below-average because a long arm swing in the back inhibits his ability to stay on top of them. A pro organization will likely take one of the breaking balls away and try to get him to shorten up in the back. Williams has good control, with 35 career walks in his three years in Tempe, and he can command his fastball, though the pitch can get straight at times. If he cantighten up his breaking ball, Williams could be a middle of the rotation starter.
