Jett Williams is not born to be a mechanic. Jett Williams — with a name like that — is born for the spotlight.

Of course Jett Williams is a baseball player — and the exact player you are imagining: blazing and scrappy, strong but short.

Some offspring of sports royalty have to live up to their names. This Mets prospect is living up to his name in a different light while spreading a myth that at least feels true.

The origin story of his first name, at least the one Williams has heard, entails his father, Richard, needing another “J” name to add to the family. He was thinking of “cool names, unique names” — names that would flow out of loudspeakers when his son would be announced at sporting events. The name came with some expectations — as does Jett’s middle name, Michael, which pairs with his sister’s first name: Jordan.
