In an exciting turn of events for baseball fans, Brewers president of baseball operations, Matt Arnold, announced on Monday that Jett Williams will be taking some practice reps at third base during spring training, as reported by Jack Stern from BrewerFanatic.com.
Although Williams has not yet played the third base position professionally, he brings with him considerable experience on the left side of the infield and possesses a strong arm, which suggests that adapting to this new role could be relatively seamless for him. The Brewers have created an opportunity at the hot corner following their recent trades of Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio to the Red Sox.
While it may seem unlikely that Williams will secure a starting position at third base right out of camp, demonstrating his capability to handle the position could certainly open doors for additional playing time. At just 22 years old, Williams was brought over from the Mets in the trade that involved pitcher Freddy Peralta heading to New York.
