Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, he is the son of Jimy Williams, a former Major League infielder, coach and manager. The younger Williams, an infielder himself, was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 45th round of the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft out of Pasco-Hernando Community College.

Brady Williams appeared in 264 minor league and 316 independent league games over the course of a seven-year (1999–2005) professional career, batting .233 with 441 hits and 58 home runs. He reached the Double-A level for eight games in 2002 as a member of the New Britain Rock Cats. During his active career, the 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), 185 lb (84 kg) Williams batted and threw right-handed.

In 2006, Williams became a coach in the Tampa Bay organization at the Class A level, and has been a manager with the Short Season-A Hudson Valley Renegades (2009), Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (2010–2012), and Class A Charlotte Stone Crabs (2013) prior to his promotion to the Montgomery assignment. He was named the Midwest League's top managerial prospect of 2012 by Baseball America,^[1] and through 2014 had compiled a win-loss record of 388–377 (.507).
