Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Williams opened the season in Double-A Akron but pushed his way into Cleveland's rotation by mid-June and remained there for the rest of the season. The apex of his season was consecutive double-digit strikeout games against Toronto and Tampa Bay in early August while the only true disastrous outing was one against the Dodgers later that month. The complaint with the rookie would be walks as he had four walks in five of his 16 outings but Williams also benefited from stranding runners in those outings as none of the five were terrible outings. We could also nitpick at him only going six or more innings in 5 of his 16 outings which made it tougher for him to net wins and quality starts. Cleveland has an excellent track record of pitching development and they'll no doubt continue to mold Williams into the front half of the rotation pitcher they envision him to be. That project just may not be completed in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Takes ninth loss
Williams (3-9) took the loss against the Rays on Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
Williams got off to a rocky start, surrendering a solo homer to Brandon Lowe in the second at-bat of the game to put Cleveland in an early hole. The Rays would get to the right-hander again in the fourth, this time for two runs after he allowed three of the first five batters to reach. Williams would not make it through six frames for the fifth time in his last six starts while going on to take his second straight loss. He now carries a 6.23 ERA in September over three starts to go along with an 11:7 K:BB. Williams has also issued multiple walks in six consecutive outings.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Chasing college pitchers with big stuff and a non-premium first-year player draft price tag is a strong strategy in dynasty leagues, and Williams has thus far rewarded those who targeted him last offseason. A sturdy 6-foot-6 righty from East Carolina whom Cleveland selected with the 23rd overall pick in 2021, Williams has a power arsenal featuring an upper-90s fastball and three offspeed offerings that have above-average to plus potential. Williams registered a 1.96 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 149:40 K:BB in 115 innings across 25 starts in High-A and Double-A. He has SP1 or SP2 potential if he stays healthy and throws enough strikes. Cleveland's rotation will be tough to crack in the near future, but Williams could be the first of the Guardians' next big wave (also featuring Daniel Espino and Tanner Bibee) to debut.
