DrB's 2020 Top 50 Prospects: #25 David Villar

David Villar 3B.  DOB:  1/27/1997.  B-R, T-R.  6'1", 215 lbs.

A+:  .262/.334/.421, 24 2B, 2 3B, 13 HR, 4 SB, 8.4 BB%, 30.1 K%.

David Villar is another guy with some toonder in his bat who may strike out too much for it to be usable.  Playing is first full pro season in San Jose, he got off to a slow start, missed some time with an injury then put together really strong May, June and July before tailing off in August. He went 5 for 13 with a HR in the 3 game playoff series against Visalia.  He should move up to Richmond for 2020.  Someone named him the top defensive 3B in the Cal league which kind of surprised me because I was under the impression defense was not his strong point.  He seems to be flying under the radar of a lot of prospect watchers. For instance, Fangraphs does not have him in their Giants top 36.  I regard him as an intriguing prospect who should be in the top 30.
