UC San Diego’s steady lefty with real strikeout feel
Villar has been a dependable innings-eater for UC San Diego, and in the 2026 season he was used as a reliable multi-role lefty out of the bullpen, earning All-Big West honorable mention while posting 35 strikeouts, 14 walks, and a team-high 23 appearances over 40.2 innings. His calling card is strike-throwing and bat-missing from the left side, and UC San Diego trusted him in high-leverage spots. If you want a competitive, experienced arm who brings toughness and matchup value, he’s worth a close look.
