Elias Villarreal  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Villarreal is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. You can expect Elias Villarreal to pull the ball. It's hard to explain but Elias Villarreal plays much better on the road then he does at home. It's unfortunate too, with Villarreal signing a hefty contract. You gotta imagine management wants a little better relationship between him and the fans.

Baserunning & Defense
Villarreal doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often. Minor league scouts have accused Villarreal of being a liability in the field. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Villarreal to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
