The junior right-handed pitcher, who posted a 2.05 ERA and picked up 12 wins last season, earned second-team honors. Williams earned 2012 All-American honors and played with the USA National Collegiate Team this summer. His ERA of 2.05 was tied for best in the Pac-12 and his 12 victories were tied for best among all Division I starting pitchers.
