Ed Villavicencio
Starting Pitcher | St Paul Pride
Pitching Villavicencio's bread and butter pitch is his slider. I've seen it baffle many a right handed batter. He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his slider. He traditionally fares better against lefties.
Defense & Hitting Villavicencio does an average job of holding runners. Villavicencio is nothing special in the field. Villavicencio is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Villavicencio has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The St Paul Pride have been known to use Villavicencio as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Villavicencio performance in AAA is making it difficult for the St Paul Pride to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
