Versatile Jett Williams doing what it takes to reach ultimate Mets goal after last year’s injury
NY Post
PORT ST. LUCIE — Jett Williams spent his time away from baseball last season to reflect on life.
For the first summer, he could remember, Williams — the Mets’ top position player prospect — was separated from the game he loved.
In June, he underwent a TFCC debridement on his right wrist to repair damaged ligaments and cartilage. The next two months involved a tedious rehab.
The lesson he learned?
“Just find stuff that you enjoy away from the field, too, because you never know — baseball can be taken from you at any moment,” Williams said. “Try not to just always rely on baseball, baseball, baseball. Just try to have other identities because baseball is not going to define me as a human so just trying not to make it a be-all-do-all type thing.”
Williams, the quintessential baseball grinder, takes enjoyment in golf and said he’s come to appreciate time with his family.
