Ryan Williams is a wiry, athletic left-handed pitcher and hitter with a high ceiling and plenty of projection ahead. On the mound, he shows a clean, repeatable delivery with a distinct rhythm—starting his hands low in the stretch and moving them high in the windup. He consistently commands the zone with his fastball, showing the ability to work to both sides of the plate. His sweeping slider is an effective secondary pitch, generating chase and weak contact. Ryan’s athleticism is evident in his movements, body control, and ability to make adjustments on the fly. As he continues to develop physically, there is significant upside in both velocity and overall pitch effectiveness.

At the plate, Ryan utilizes a fairly upright stance with his toes on the chalk and his hands set over the plate, making it uncomfortable for pitchers to work inside against him. He features a smooth, controlled swing and makes consistent contact. At times, he will drop his shoulder slightly, which can cause him to foul balls off toward the third base side, but his overall approach allows him to compete in every at-bat and put the ball in play with authority. His athleticism is also evident on the base paths, where he demonstrates a high baseball IQ, reading pitchers well and taking smart, aggressive opportunities to advance.

Ryan is very coachable and a quick learner in all areas of the game. He consistently applies feedback, works hard to improve, and brings a positive presence to any team environment. Additionally, he is a great kid who is motivated to play baseball at the next level.
