David Villar named PCL MVP

The San Francisco Giants won’t be collecting too much hardware this offseason, but at least one trophy is going their way. Third baseman David Villar, one of the bright spots in a highly lackluster season, was announced on Monday as the MVP of the Pacific Coast League.

Your 2022 PCL MVP and Post-Season All-Star...DAVID VILLAR!

Villar certainly had a season to remember. A year after setting the AA Richmond Flying Squirrels franchise record in home runs, Villar started the year with the AAA Sacramento River Cats, and the ball was flying off his bat immediately.
