“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.”
Matt Blood

Athletic Excellence


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. He also stole 19 bases on 21 attempts entering the postseason. Siani went 2-0 on the mound with a 3.94 ERA, fanning nine batters and walking four in 5.1 innings. A Perfect Game First-Team All-American and gold medal winner with Team USA at the 2017 18U World Cup, Siani is the No. 1 recruit in Pennsylvania for the Class of 2018 as rated by Perfect Game and is No. 28 on Baseball America’s Top High School Prospects list.

Academic Achievement


Siani has maintained a 3.19 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball on scholarship at University of Virginia this fall, but is projected as an early-round selection in June’s Major League Baseball draft.

Exemplary Character


Siani has volunteered locally mentoring younger players in the baseball training program Whiz Kids in addition to donating his time serving food to the needy.
