Prospect Spotlight

Williamson’s solid showing in his return to full-season action in 2015 after Tommy John surgery earned him a brief cup of coffee in San Francisco, followed by a prompt return to Triple-A Sacramento to begin 2016 as he awaits his next opportunity. He already received a quick up-and-down during the third week of the season, and since returning to Sacramento he’s scorched opposing arms to the tune of a .424/.447/.697 slash line over 38 PAs, with over a third of his hits going for extra bases.

Williamson gets high scores for makeup and his approach to the game, making the most out of his strength and solid, if unspectacular, athleticism. He fits best as a future left fielder with an average defensive profile who won’t give away value on the base paths. He has enough strength to muscle the ball out of his spacious future home in San Francisco, and he should collect his share of two-baggers to the gaps, as well. While not a star, Williamson could be a valuable everyday contributor in the outfield, and a welcome balance to the steady talent San Francisco has cultivated on the infield dirt. –Nick J. Faleris
