Prospect of the Day:  RHP Devin Williams, Wisconsin

Though Nevin Ashley may have had the best statistical day of anyone in the Brewers’ minor-league system, it’s hard to write too much about a reserve catcher in Triple-A with much gusto. Instead, prized right-hander Devin Williams tossed a quartet of scoreless innings on Thursday evening for the Timber Rattlers, lowering his ERA to 2.99 and continuing his fine form since the All-Star Break — when he’s posted a 2.37 ERA with 39 strikeouts in 38.0 innings.

Williams can touch the mid-90s with his fastball, can spin a breaking ball, and shows flashes with his changeup. It’s a raw arsenal at the moment, which it should be at 20 years old in Class-A ball, but it’s one that shows huge promise. Some have considered him a darkhorse for Top-100 prospect lists for the 2016 season; however, it’s much more likely that he’ll slide under the radar for at least another year, or at least until the Brewers take off the training wheels and let him pitch without restrictions. Not to mention the fact that any Top-100 ranking would be heavily reliant upon projection, rather than polish or proximity to the big leagues. For now, the former Missouri prepster will quietly be one of the top-two pitching prospects in the system, despite the greater attention being placed on arms further up the ladder.
