Despite a short tenure in the league, he contributed to his team across 10 games. In his limited appearances, Williams recorded 2 hits and brought in 1 run, resulting in a batting average of .105. Although he did not hit any home runs and did not attempt a stolen base, his journey through the major leagues remains a part of the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball.
