Phillies outfielder Nick Williams has quietly been one of the Phillies best bats since joining the club late last season. Touted as a five-tool prospect in the Rangers system brought over in the Cole Hamels deal, Williams finally got an opportunity to play the majority of a season with the big league club.
In 140 games Williams hit .256 with 17 home runs, 50 RBI, and 32 extra base hits despite not starting the season with an everyday job. After losing the starting right field job to Aaron Altherr Williams was highly productive off the bench, supplying three pinch-hit home runs by mid-May.
