Hector Villarroel

Non-MLB

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Hector Villarroel has thrown 100 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2025 and 2026, all of them occuring in The World Baseball Classic. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (92mph) and Slider (85mph).


In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball has heavy sinking action, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has an obvious tail, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has essentially average velo. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 17 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, has exceptional depth, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, is much harder than usual and has primarily 12-6 movement.
