Deshawn Williams

Deshawn is a lean, athletic LHP/OF with young features and a fairly projectable body. A little narrow framed but has room to add quality lean strength throughout body and shows solid athleticism and body control already. Future likely lies on the mound as a LHP. Still very much a project with a lot of development still needed but a strike throwing lefty and shows the ability to spin the ball. Works from a semi windup with a compact arm stroke. Closer to a ¾ slot and has a tendency to work a little underneath the baseball. Has athleticism in delivery and shows it by making adjustments on the fly to get back into the strike zone. Has a chance to make quality jumps in his delivery and quality of stuff with continued coaching and physical development. Pitches off a 2 seam FB (59-67). Wide range of FB velo due to inconsistent delivery. Comes out ok when gets everything synced with a chance for a significant velo jump down the road. FB shows some occasional late arm side tail. Has ability to spin the baseball. Slurvy type breaking ball (52-53) with some sweeping action. Projection remaining in body and stuff and still very much a raw project on the mound with upside remaining. See Deshawn as a JUCO, project type LHP.
