​The MLB Draft took place over the weekend, offering prep athletes a chance to hear their names read and begin gearing up for the next stage of professional baseball. Following Michigan State pitcher Nolan Higgins being chosen in the fifth round, another Spartan heard his name called when the tenth round wrapped up. In that round, the Washington Nationals selected Nick Williams with the 286th overall pick.
Williams hails from Racine, Wisconsin, and after starting his collegiate career at Wabash Community College, he spent the final three years of his college journey with Michigan State. During his MSU tenure, Williams appeared in 153 games, posted a .304 batting average, and logged a .917 OPS, showcasing his consistent offensive presence and versatility on the field.
