Villaflor enters his redshirt freshman year at Portland. The Duvall, Washington, native played four years at The Bear Creek School, where he was team captain his senior season. In 13 games, Villaflor had a home run, nine RBIs and a team-leading 10 stolen bases.

The former two-sport star has always loved the idea of playing the game he loves in his home state.

“I remember going to the SunDome and Yakima County Stadium as a kid,” Villaflor said. “Playing in Yakima is a full-circle moment for me, having my friends and family so close and able to watch me play is amazing for all of us.”
