The Blue Jays selected another tall right-handed pitcher for their second selection in this year’s draft.
Kendall Williams, an 18-year-old from Mississippi, has been part of IMG Academy since 2017 and is committed to Vanderbilt University which means his signing is not certain.
Williams stands out with his size of 6-foot-6, 208-pounds, and has a five-pitch arsenal, something unusual for a prep pitcher. He throws the four-seamer, two-seamer, curveball, changeup, and slider. His fastball sits in the low 90’s while regularly touching 94mph, according to MLB.com’s scouting report.
MLB.com gave the following scouting grades to Williams: Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50.
