The Canes added a much-needed bat to its lineup with the transfer of Wichita State LF Derek Williams. The 6', 210 lbs. righty, who originally hails from St. Louis, put up a .318/.425/.615 slash line for the Shockers last year and finished third in the AAC in home runs with 14. Williams spent his first two years at the JUCO level, where he hit 41 home runs combined at Mineral Area JC and Florida Southwestern.
Williams joins OF Bobby Marsh (Penn State), RHP Griffin Hugus (Cincinnati), RHP Will Smith (Coastal Carolina), LHP Robert Evans and RHP Carson Fischer (Davenport) in Miami's Portal class, with more to come.
