LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Miami Prospect Showcase
Matthew Villar is a 2025 SS/2B/RHP with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from Royal Palm Beach, FL who attends Palm Beach Central. Medium athletic build with room to get stronger. 7.70 runner in the sixty. Primary middle infielder on defense, arm strength is his best defensive tool, long and loose arm action with good carry, two-handed fielder out front with developing glove quickness, best suited for third base at the next level. Right handed hitter, has a busy multi-part load to his swing that can leave him mis-timed, gets to his front side and swings with intent and some bat speed, can impact the ball when he's on time. Also pitched, works from a modified combination stretch/wind up delivery, pitches tall with a high leg kick out front, short stride out front, gets downhill to the plate. Fastball topped out at 82 mph, mostly straight, also threw a curveball. Has athletic talent but needs to shorten and simplify all his baseball actions. Good student.
