Ben Williamson

Williamson appeared to have a chance to begin 2026 as a starting infielder for the Mariners, but his trade to the Rays complicates his path to immediate playing time. Williamson did not exactly make the most of his opportunity last season as he saw 85 games with the club and had 14 extra base hits as a rookie. Williamson has been a good contact and patient hitter in his time with the organization, but he has hit just nine homers in 825 professional plate appearances over the course of those three seasons. Williamson would ideally profile as a reserve infielder off the bench rather than an everyday starter because he has the defensive skills to play anywhere on the infield in a pinch. If you liked Matt Duffy years ago, then you'll enjoy Williamson on your roster. Mixed league managers can rightfully scroll past him in the draft room queue. Read Past Outlooks
