Dodgers Rumors: Scouts View Kendall Williams As Potential Ace
The Los Angeles Dodgers were connected to some of the biggest names at the 2020 MLB trade deadline, but wound up moving forward with a smaller deal, sending Ross Stripling to the Toronto Blue Jays for prospect Kendall Williams and a second player to be named later.
Selected by the Blue Jays in the second round (No. 52 overall) of the 2019 MLB Draft, Williams was ranked their No. 13 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline.
The right-hander has a fastball that can reach the mid-90s and flashes a curveball that some believe could emerge as a dominant secondary pitch. He also throws a slider and has some feel for a changeup that remains in development.
