Alec
Villanueva

08/26/17- Currently stands at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds with a solid build and strong lower half. In the field he showed the ability to field the ball out in front and under control while also ranging backhand and forehand. Made a tough play up the middle where he then spun and made an accurate throw to first while at short. Throws topped out at 77 mph across the diamond. In the box he shows a balanced approach with quick hands through the zone and use of his lower half. Made consistent contact during batting practice where he used all of the field. 

6/22/16- The strong and stocky 5-foot-10 175-pounder had a lot of quick twitch actions both offensively and defensively. In the field, Villanueva has good hands which he is very confident in, working under control and out in front of his body. A quick first step leads to above average range to both sides as well as the ability to make an athletic play on the slow roller. In the box, Villanueva is aggressive and balanced with a strong lower half. Quick hands and a feel for the barrel coupled with the aggressive approach create some present power with more to come.
