“Mike is a dynamic player who affects and impacts the game in every way. As a leader, in the box, on the bases, in the outfield, he’s a true five-tool guy. And the sixth tool is his leadership and makeup. He’s been best when he plays on the biggest stage.”

The 6-foot, 195-pound senior centerfielder had led the Quakers (11-10) to the first round of the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association tournament at the time of his selection. Siani had batted .345 (19-for-55) with two home runs, 10 RBI, 20 runs and 13 walks, giving him an on-base percentage of .493 and a slugging percentage of .509 through 21 games.
