From ProspectsLive:
QuoteWilliams has been the catalyst sparkplug at the top of the Wildcats all season. He's a good runner and plays a good centerfield. Williams doesn't have a lot of thump in the bat, but he's recognized for solid bat-to-ball skills and the ability to take his walks. There's not a ton of ceiling in Williams, but he's a good player who's tools have a good chance of playing their way to the big leagues.

Law has more on Rodriquez in his ESPN Insider article on ESPN.com. I won't quote the entire article but here are the parts relevant to this discussion...
QuoteRodriguez's delivery is really stiff and abrupt, failing to make much use of his lower half, with a cutoff in his landing that has him a little across his body when he goes to his glove side. His arm is consistently late because of a pause in his delivery that also robs him of the momentum he builds up before that point, although he's barely over the rubber and doesn't have a ton of it to begin with. It is kind of amazing he can throw as hard as he does as long as he does.
QuoteA reader asked on Twitter if I thought he projected as an ace, but I see no way that happens with his current arm action.
Luke-OH, do you have the same concerns with his delivery?

2021 5th round pick (137): Carlos Tavera - RHP - (Senior) Texas-Arlington
in O's Amateur Draft and International Signings
Posted
ProspectsLive had him as the 160th prospect with this to say, "Tavera has been up to 95 with a high spin breaking ball and a model release height. He's a three-pitch arm with starter projection and some velocity gains potentially ahead. Evaluators believe he could be a starter that sits 93-95 with an above average breaking ball and a usable changeup."
