Eddie Silva, a South Florida native, has emerged as one of the brightest stars of the FIU Panthers baseball team. After undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2017, Silva returned to the field during the 2018 season where he recorded the best statistics of his NCAA baseball career.
"I think his desire, his will, his energy level, his passion — when you see him hit a home run — how he runs around the bases — tells you who he really is. How excited he gets. He is now locked in". -Mervyl Melendez |
"Relentless is the first word that comes to mind when I think about Eddie Silva. I love his passion, his energy, his drive, his will to succeed. He gives 100% day in and day out no matter the circumstances. He's the type of guy you want to go to war with because you know he will run through a wall for you at any given time. One of the best individuals I've had the pleasure of being around during my time at FIU." - Gabe Alfaro, Director of Player Personnel
