Scouting Reports
-
BA Grade: 40/High
Midseason Update: Slowly but surely, Villar has hit his way to the big leagues. He made his big league debut on the Fourth of July and collected the first hit of his career against former Giants ace Madison Bumgarner. Villar is lauded for stellar makeup and the defensive versatility to fit as a utility player who can fill in at both corners. May Update: Villar, whom the Giants chose out of South Florida with their 11th-round selection in 2018, broke out in a big way in 2021 at Double-A Richmond. This year, up a level to Triple-A Sacramento, Villar has continued hitting. As of May 23, his 14 home runs and 1.109 OPS were both good enough to lead the Pacific Coast League, and he was particularly good when he played games away from his home park in Sacramento. His defense plays at both first and third base, giving him a future as a potential corner utility infielder.
