On top of his big bat, Williams is a versatile fielder that has played both shortstop and center field this season. He has elite speed (18 stolen bases) and doesn't sacrifice any power despite his small frame. In May, Williams climbed 14 spots in ESPN's top prospect rankings to reach 20th in all of baseball.

Drafted in the first round by the Mets in 2022, Williams is still in the development stage with the organization. But given his raw talent combined with significant leaps in batting average and slugging this season, there is real reason to be excited about his future with the team.

If Williams continues to dominate in Double-A, he could easily see a promotion to Triple-A before the end of the season.
