Stephen Williams  
Starting Pitcher | Guelph Storm

Pitching
I love Williams's sinker. This thing plummets like a rock at 59 feet. He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. The Guelph Storm hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Williams does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Williams is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Williams has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
What The Guelph Storm was thinking when they signed Williams to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. One has to wonder what Stephen Williams is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Williams.
