LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 Pre-Draft Showcase
Leslie Williams is a 2007 RHP/OF with a 6'2'', 205 lb. frame from Toronto, ON who attends Birchmount Park C.I.. He is an excellent all around athlete with prospect tools as both a right handed pitcher and outfielder. Williams has a quick, compact arm stroke and very good arm strength. He was 87-90 on the mound with his fastball and 94 from the outfield during drills. His breaking ball was 72-75 mph and varied between a bigger CB break and a shorter, sharper SL break at basically the same velocities. Both have good shape and spin and the SL would be a better pitch if he would throw it harder. We've seen Williams earlier this year with better velocity and sharper breaking balls. In addition to his arm strength as an outfielder, Williams is also a 6.62 runner. He has raw bat speed and power at the plate but is probably less advanced in his swing than in any other area of the game. But he is an outstanding prospect as an athletic outfielder and should hit with power in the future.
