Overview

Villafane is a speedy outfielder who could play all three positions, except his arm may not be good enough for right.  At the plate he’s shown some ability to drive the ball.

2023-24

Villafane got hurt early in his debut season and had only 39 PAs. He had four hits and drew eight walks. Back in the DSL in 2024, Villafane had a good year, hitting 278/322/406, although his walk and K rates were just passable. He split his time between the three outfield positions.
