TEXAS - As we wait for the high school season to get underway, PBR Texas is going to be doing Q&A's with some of the top players in the State. We will be discussing their recruiting process and their upcoming High School Season.

Today we spotlight 2022 TCU signee, Anthony Silva out of San Antonio Clark.  The SS is a 2019 Future Games Alum and is ranked 9th in the state.

 

 

OUR Q&A

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? What were you looking for out of a college program to continue your baseball career at?

Silva: My biggest expectation was to go to a program with good culture. It didn’t matter if they were the best team out there, if the team wasn’t like a family I wasn’t going yo go there.

P: Did location or distance from home play a factor in your decision?

S: No

P: When did the recruiting process really start to heat up for you? Where did the school you committed to first see you play?

S: It started to heat up the summer after my freshman season in high school. TCU first saw me on Twitter when I was pitching, not even hitting or on the field.

P: What do you like most about the program you chose, and what were the key factors in making your decision?

S: The thing I like most about TCU is how much of a family the team is. Everyone treats each other as a brother and tries to get the best out of each other.

P: What other schools were on your short list before you made your final decision?

S: University of Texas

P: Who is the best player you have faced in your state? What about them makes for a tough opponent?

S: Nathan Detmer my freshman season in the playoffs. He was just a great pitcher with overpowering pitches.

P: At what point in your career did you realize you were a college-caliber player and became serious about taking your game to the next level?

 

S: I realized it during the summer after my freshman school season. Colleges just started watching me during tournaments and it became more clear when I was invited to the PBR Future Games to play with the best 2021 uncommitted guys across the country.

P: What advice would you give to young baseball players striving to get where you are?

S: Set your goals high and never take no for an answer.

P: What is the most memorable moment in your baseball career to this point?

S: My first home run when I was 12. I remember it so vividly and much excitement it brought me.

P: Preview your high school team's season for us. How do you feel your team will be?

S: We will have a great season. We didn’t lose a single starter and everyone continues to get better. We have a chip on our shoulders from last year and we have something to prove.
