Ben Williamson

Scout’s note

Ben Williamson is a Fairfax, VA, second baseman the Rays drafted in the second round in 2023. He is hitting .245 with a .612 OPS across 174 games, and in his last four MLB games he is 1-for-11 with three strikeouts — a cold stretch at the wrong time.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
