Jett Williams Emerging as Top Stash Candidate Amid Dominant Month at Triple-A
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams is quickly knocking on the MLB door as he has swung a hot bat in May at Triple-A Nashville. Since May 1, the infielder has carried a stellar .308/.464/.577 slash line with four doubles, two triples, two home runs, three stolen bases, and a 13:14 K:BB. This is worth noting, as Williams struggled in April, posting a much lower .227/.324/.361 slash line with a modest .685 OPS. The Brewers acquired Williams in the winter as part of the move that sent their former ace, Freddy Peralta, to the New York Mets. Last summer, Williams spent most of his time with Double-A before joining Triple-A Syracuse in the second half. While the Brewers may keep Williams at Triple-A for a bit longer, he is showing he is more than capable of earning a taste of MLB pitching in the coming weeks.

Jett Williams Heating Up at Triple-A, Worth a Stash Ahead of Looming Debut?
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams has begun to swing a hot bat at Triple-A and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Williams was given an opportunity to win a starting job out of spring training but was instead sent to the top club in the Milwaukee minor-league system. Over his first 17 games with Nashville, the infielder looked quite overmatched, posting a modest .197/.388/.227 slash line with only one extra-base hit. However, over his last 21 contests, Williams has looked like a completely different hitter, carrying a .282/.380/.462 slash line with five doubles, three home runs, and five stolen bases. With David Hamilton and Luis Rengifo struggling to produce consistently at the MLB level, the Brewers may turn to the former 14th overall pick in the near future. He is a solid stash option in all 12+ team leagues with N/A spots.
