Carson Williams Has Up and Down First Half of 2025
Carson Williams had mixed results over the first half at Triple-A Durham, hitting .216/.322/.445 (99 wRC+) with 16 homers and 17 stolen bases. The power and speed combination is super impressive, as he is one of just three players in the entire minor leagues to put up those numbers or better. The downside is that the contact ability has been really poor, with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate. The contact has to improve for him to become a serious consideration for a promotion to the big leagues. His blend of power and speed with his defensive prowess keeps his floor relatively high, but it can be wiped away by a poor hit tool. Williams' strikeout rate will be a key area for fantasy managers to keep an eye on in the second half.
