Orioles Designate Mason Williams For Assignment

By Connor Byrne | September 11, 2020 at 9:21pm CDT

The Orioles announced that they’ve designated outfielder Mason Williams for assignment.

Now 29 years old, Williams was a first-round pick of the Yankees in 2010 who hasn’t established himself in the majors. He’s only a .272/.309/.370 hitter across 252 plate appearances, including 52 with the Orioles since 2019. Williams went 2-for-18 with nine strikeouts this season before the Orioles before Friday. They previously DFA’d Williams on Sept. 1 and then outrighted him Sept. 4, only to bring him back for a short period.

    When he was with the yanks, Mason signed the back of my phone (there was a sticker on it) before a game against the orioles where he later hit his first career bomb. I then talked to him for a while a couple years later in Scranton when he was back in the minors, and he said “oh you’re the phone guy!” Really nice dude who’s always had tools. Hope he catches on somewhere.

      If he could handle a bat like he handles a guitar, he’d be a lock for the hall!

      If Mason Williams is too obscure for you, why are you commenting on this site? Dude was a top 100 prospect for three straight years.

      He’s had plenty of chances with the Yankees, Reds, O’s etc. Maybe he needs to learn how to pitch next or goto McDonald’s or Home Depot

        Do you assume he can’t do other jobs just because he’s better than you at sports?

    He was a fairly good prospect at one point, but just to clarify he was a 4th round pick, not a 1st rounder.

    Why is it that on some posts this sites mentions that a player had a “respectable” batting average of, anything from .250 to .260, but poor Mason has “only” a .272 batting average. ? Different writers with different attitudes towards player offensive numbers ?

      Batting average is not what is referenced. It’s 2020, time to leave your stone age analysis where’re it belongs. A .679 OPS is not good, no matter what his BA is

        Maybe don’t mock someone for which stats they use if you’re going to immediately cite OPS afterward? OPS has always been a nonsensical junk stat.
