John Freitag is flashing real top-of-the-order juice for Villanova
In the 2025 season, Freitag hit .298 with a .438 on-base percentage, 2 home runs, 15 RBI, and 13 walks in 22 games, and Villanova highlighted a five-game stretch where he posted a .600 average and .684 OBP with nine hits and eight RBI. He looks like a table-setter with bat-to-ball feel, patience, and timely pop, which is a sneaky-good combo for a corner-outfield/DH type. The big differentiator: he’s already shown he can heat up fast and carry an offense for short stretches, a trait coaches love when they need a dependable, competitive at-bat.
