By his own admission, Jeron Williams’ one season at Lincoln Trail College in Robinson, Ill., was bad.
The Archbold native hit .276 with 50 hits in 53 games, not exactly the way to attract attention from Division I coaches. But Williams had a couple of things on his side: superb base running and elite fielding.
Toledo baseball coach Rob Reinstetle was confident that the shortstop who only committed two errors could improve his defective hitting.
“Coming out of JUCO, I knew I needed to figure out hitting if I wanted to play beyond college,” Williams said.
