I have been itching to see McClatchy play this year, their team is off to a great 8-0 start after last night's crazy back and forth game. It was looking very promising early for the Lions, even though West Park took an early 1-0 lead, the Lions would answer back with a one spot in the bottom of the 1st inning giving Silva some insurance. Silva got things going early when he split the LCF gap for a double to add on to the offensive inning. The kid can really hit, and I can see why so many people are high on his bat to ball skills. Silva hits third for the Lions, I can see him being a legit two-way player at the next level, especially since he is still maturing as he is only in his junior year. Silva is pretty crafty on the mound, he got the start for CKM and ended up going three innings, surrendering two hits, giving up one earned run, and had three strikeouts. Can prove the ability to pitch backwards on a lot of Westpark’s hitters. Silva’s FB was sitting between 82-84 MPH T85 with some ASR, CH was 72-73 MPH with some late fade, and his CB was between 70-71 MPH. Early in the game, Silva had an errant throw that would cost them a couple runs, but the Lions ended up gaining momentum to take the lead later in the game. Silva would be the one to come in clutch to hit a bases clearing triple that would eventually lead them to a victory over the Panthers. Big fan of Silva after today, excited to see more of him in the next couple months leading into summer.
