Your update on Jones and the comments above about Williams and his late season struggles last year made me look up Williams' progress in the minors so far.
The end of the year collapse for Williams was perhaps the steepest decline I have ever seen - at least in the running. He went from being the best pitcher in the Pac 12 to the worst guy Stanford was throwing out there. Over his last four outings (Pac 12 tournament and the NCAA tournament) he had game ERAs of 7.7 (Arizona), 9.6 (Texas State), 40.5 (UConn), and 10.4 (Arkansas). It was so bad and so sudden I was convinced he had some terrible injury.
So, his minor stats so far.
2022 he started 2 games in rookie ball. It appears he went 5 perfect innings.
2023 he is starting in high A ball with the Beloit Sky Carp. He has started 3 games so far, 16 total innings pitched, 4.5 ERA, 1.44 WHIP.
[Looks like 2 of 3 starts were pretty good, but struggled in his second start. However he went on the 7 day injured list after start #3]
