New York Mets prospect Jett Williams injured his ankle running into the outfield wall in the Arizona Fall League's regular-season finale Thursday.
Mets officials are optimistic that their No. 2-ranked prospect's sprained right ankle won't have a significant impact on his offseason, according to MLB.com.
Williams, 21, is a shortstop and outfielder currently playing with the AFL's Scottsdale Scorpions. The No. 14 pick in the 2022 draft is batting .225 with 2 homers, 9 RBIs and 7 steals in 21 games this fall.
The injury occurred in the bottom of the first inning as Williams, playing center field, tracked down a leadoff double by Tyler Callihan of the Glendale Desert Dogs.
