Trevor Williams

Next up, is Junior pitcher Trevor Williams. Set to step into a key role for Arizona State, there are greater expectations after an incredible 12 wins that ranked first among the Pac-12. Thomas Lenneberg, Assistant Media Relation Director for the baseball team says, "He [Trevor] has to step into the Friday night role, which in college carries a lot of weight and responsibility; however, I think Trevor is ready for it." 

In order to prepare for the upcoming season, Williams added to his resume of experience by competing for the Team USA Collegiate National Team where he and his teammates won the bronze metal. In terms of sports, competing against the best always forces you to raise your own level of play to new horizons. It should be an exciting year to see what effects it has on his game in the future.

Along with his international play, he also participated on the Cape Cod League, where he honored former Sun Devil and roommate, Cory Hahn, who planned on playing in the same league before he suffered a spinal cord injury two seasons ago that left him paralyzed from the waist down. 

Through a magnanimous gesture, Williams sported Hahn's no. 34 to show support and represent his teammate. In the same Cape Cod League, he was also able to pitch to the next notable athlete, catcher Max Rossiter.
