Joe Villavicencio showed a lot of promise during his bullpen session yesterday. The rising senior displayed a live arm, sitting in the upper 80’s with his fastball (86-88 T89). He also flashed two distinct breaking balls, including a curveball (75-76) and a slider (77-79), both showing solid movement. Villavicencio is an intriguing arm as we head into the summer, and his velocity should continue to increase as he gains more experience. Keep an eye on him as a prospect with plenty of upside.
