Jackson Williams

Jackson Thomas Williams (born May 14, 1986) is an American former professional baseball catcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants in 2014 and 2015.

Williams played college baseball at the University of Oklahoma. In 2005, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and returned to the league in 2006 to play for the Hyannis Mets.

Williams was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. He played in the Giants organization until 2013 without making the majors.

He signed a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies before the 2014 season.

Williams was called up to the majors for the first time on June 22, 2014.

Williams was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on October 22, 2014.

Williams never appeared in an MLB game for the Angels, and was purchased by the San Francisco Giants (the team who originally drafted him in the first round in 2007) on March 17, 2015. As a September callup, Williams appeared in 7 games for the Giants, with 2 hits and 4 walks in 14 plate appearances. On October 19, Williams was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.

On November 10, 2015, Williams signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies organization. He split the 2016 campaign between the Double–A Hartford Yard Goats and Triple–A Albuquerque Isotopes, hitting .199/.265/.263 with one home run and 20 RBI across 68 total games. Williams elected free agency following the season on November 7, 2016.
