Biographical Information

Noah Williamson has played in the minors and for the Swiss national team, where a teammate has been brother Kyle Williamson.

Noah is a black belt in karate. He was 1 for 15 with two walks, a run and a RBI for the Zurich Challengers in the 2019 CEB Cup; his 9 K led the event (two more than Kostiantyn Chukhas). He pitched three shutout innings as well. He was much better with the Swiss team in the 2019 B-Level European Championship. He had a four-RBI game against Poland and four hits in a loss to Slovakia. He finished at .421/.476/.1000 with 3 homers, 8 runs and 8 RBI in 5 games as the top Swiss hitter. He was 10th in average (between Martin Brunegraf and Tomáš Biskorovajný), 2nd in slugging (.105 behind Vytas Valincius), tied Jesse Bové for 5th in runs, tied Andres Mena for 3rd in RBI, led in homers (one ahead of Valincius and Rafael Eigenmann), was second with 19 total bases (two behind Valincius) and played error-free defense.

The Miami Marlins took him in the 19th round of the 2021 amateur draft. He hit only .147/.229/.200 for the '21 FCL Marlins with 40 whiffs in 75 at-bats. Back with them the next year, he improved to .217/.333/.392 with 13 doubles and 27 runs in 41 games but again whiffed too much (71 times in 143 AB). He tied Narbe Cruz and Felix Negueis for third in the Florida Complex League in two-baggers but led in strikeouts. In 2023, he appeared for the FCL Marlins (.300/.417/.350 in 6 G) and Jupiter Hammerheads (.115/.179/.256 in 27 G; 52 K in 78 AB).

He then was back with Switzerland for the 2023 European Championship, their first European Championship. He batted third in their opener against Israel. After flying out against Itai Spinoza his first time up, the center fielder doubled in the third. The next day, he came up big. With two on and no outs in the first, he went deep off Belgium's Kevin Desmedt for the first European Championship homer by a Swiss player. He finished the day with 3 hits and 3 runs as Switzerland got its first win in the Euros. He also went yard off Germany's Samuel Steigert. For the event, he hit .308/.357/.654 with 3 doubles and 5 runs in 6 games despite 12 strikeouts in 26 at-bats. He had 20 putouts, 2 assists and no errors in center. He tied for 9th in the event in doubles, tied for 6th in dingers (leading Switzerland) and led his team in total bases.
