Carson Williams Expected To Start At Triple-A Durham
3 days agoMLB.com's Brendon Samson writes that Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Carson Williams is expected to open the 2025 season with Triple-A Durham. Williams, the 28th overall pick in the 28th round of the 2021 MLB draft, is the club's No. 1 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and is knocking on the door for his first MLB promotion. The 21-year-old will get a bump up to Triple-A after slashing .256/.353/.469 with 20 home runs, 69 RBI, 33 steals and 83 runs scored in 115 games with Double-A Montgomery in 2024. While he may never hit for a high average at the next level due to a propensity for plenty of strikeouts, his power/speed combination already makes him a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues. Additionally, the has the tools on defense to stick at shortstop long term. Williams could make his MLB debut in 2025, but he's expected to spend most, if not all of the year, with the Bulls.
