Sam Williams  
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Pitching
Williams can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Williams also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He has quick feet and can catch runners napping at first or second base. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Williams is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher.
