Williams has a solid, athletic build and well-proportioned strength at 6 feet, 193 pounds. He’s a high-level defender at the hot corner with advanced actions, hands and instincts. He ranges well to both sides and shows advanced ability to throw from multiple angles, on the move and with carry. He has quick, soft hands and an excellent internal clock. Offensively, he has a relaxed approach at the plate and hits from a slightly open set-up with the tendency to get to a closed hitting position. He has strength and athleticism in his hands, generating good bat speed. His swing path is inconsistent, but when he’s on time, he can drive the ball.
