The Miami Marlins selected former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-state-seminoles/">Florida State</a> outfielder <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/max-williams-86768/">Max Williams</a> with the No. 78 overall pick in the 2025 <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/mlb/news/">MLB</a> Draft. On Sunday, MLB.com’s Jim Callis revealed Williams’ rookie contract details.



“3rd-rder Max Williams signs w/ @Marlins for $897,500 (slot 78 value = $1,043,700),” Callis <a href="https://x.com/jimcallisMLB/status/1946966502185259120">wrote</a> on X. “@FSUBaseball OF, hit .321/.387/.603 w/19 HR, combination of contact & power, good CF instincts, solid speed.”



Max Williams is a native of Ormond Beach, Florida, where he went to Clay High School. At the time, Perfect Game <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=532381">rated</a> him as the No. 83 overall player and No. 21 outfielder in the 2022 recruiting cycle. 



In 2025, Williams played in 57 games for Florida State. Williams posted a .321 batting average with a .387 OBP and a .604 slugging percentage for a .991 OPS. Moreover, he tallied 19 home runs and nine doubles, with a total of 53 RBI for the season.



On the defensive side of the ball, Williams boasted a .991 fielding percentage and only one error on the season. For his college career on the whole, going back to his freshman season at Alabama, Williams played in 139 total games and hit for a .314 batting average with a .388 OBP and a .583 slugging percentage for a .970 OPS.



Additionally, he amassed 33 career home runs, 23 doubles, four triples, and 106 career RBIs. To pile on, Williams grabbed scouts’ attention in the Cape Cod League and the Northwoods League. 



Ahead of the MLB Draft, MLB.com listed Max Williams as the No. 81 prospect in the 2025 draft class. In a write-up on Williams, MLB.com provided an in-depth analysis of the standout outfielder while weighing on his potential at the next level.



“A left-handed-hitting and throwing outfielder,” MLB.com <a href="https://www.mlb.com/milb/prospects/draft/max-williams-703637">wrote</a>. “Williams has shown the ability to do damage at the plate. He has a combination of strength and bat speed that points to plenty of future power as he moves to the pro game.



“He does it with an unusual spread out setup with little to no stride and when he’s on time, the ball jumps off his bat, with a ton of over-the-fence juice to his pull side. He can be a bit streaky, prone to starting his swing too quickly and being out in front, and he’ll need to cut down on his chase while improving his swing decisions at the next level.”
