After redshirting in 2017, 6-6 right-handed pitcher Williams saw a lot of time out of the bullpen in his debut season with the Colonels.  Williams appeared in 10 games, making five starts, and in 34.0 innings pitched struck out 34 while only surrendering 15 walks. The Maysville, KY, native didn’t give up a run through his first 7.2 innings of work, only allowing a mere three hits. Williams played four years of Varsity at Mason County High School, just an hour and a half north of EKU, where he had a career ERA of under 2.00.
