Bobby Villa, the #1 prospect in Arizona for the 2027 class, lived up to his billing with an exceptional showing at the Preseason All-State event. The switch-hitting shortstop displayed high-level athleticism across the field, impressing with his mature approach at the plate. During batting practice, Villa sprayed line drives to all fields with impressive balance and control in the box. In gameplay, he continued to stand out, causing havoc on the basepaths by stealing multiple bags and showcasing his instincts and speed. Villa also delivered at the plate with a hard-hit single back up the middle. His polished skill set and well-rounded game make him a clear standout and a key reason why he holds the top spot in Arizona’s 2027 class.

Bobby Villa III, a 2027 graduate from Centennial High School and Arizona's #4 prospect, is making a name for himself with his exceptional athleticism and well-rounded skills. Standing at 5 feet 8 inches and weighing 155 pounds, Villa showcases remarkable speed, recording a 2027 high 6.71 60 time and a 31.8-inch vertical leap. As a switch-hitting middle infielder, Villa's defensive prowess is evident with a smooth and confident glove that consistently finds the sweet spot in the pocket. His accurate 82 mph arm across the diamond adds to his defensive reliability. At the plate, Villa's loose swing from both sides and quality barrel control result in line drives to the big part of the field, showcasing his offensive versatility. During gameplay, Villa displays maturity on the bases, exhibiting the ability to take a base on demand with well-timed and quick jumps. With an exciting combination of speed, defensive skill, and offensive acumen, Bobby Villa III is undoubtedly a player to watch as he heads into his first high school season at Centennial.
