07/27/2023 - Southwest Championships 17U, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One William is a strong and solid 6ft/220 catcher in the 2025 class. Behind the plate, he has a quiet relaxed feel while presenting a square and strong target. Hands are soft and keeps his eyes behind the baseball to maintain the strike zone. His catch to throw is clean and he gains a high 3qtr slot for a 2.05 release on the bag. Also, a great blocker with quick feet, great angle and fast recovery time. At the plate, he shows explosive bat speed at 92 exit velo. Has pure power to the pull side with an on-plane barrel path. His lower half is explosive while remaining balanced during his swing. Can get overly aggressive at times and working to look for his pitch will assist him when he gets to higher levels of pitching. Overall, William is a solid player.
