Fantasy Impact:
Villarroel, 21, was ranked as the #13 prospect in the Astros' organization. In four seasons in Houston's system, he has batted .269 with 18 home runs and 39 stolen bases in 233 games. He already possesses good discipline at the dish with a .378 on-base percentage in 973 career plate appearances. Villarroel made it to Single-A Fayetteville last season and is likely destined for a similar level to open the 2026 season.
