TROY, NY - The Tri-City ValleyCats have announced that veteran third baseman Juan Silverio will return to Tri-City for the 2022 season. Silverio began his career in the Chicago White Sox organization before signing with the Cincinnati Reds, reaching their AAA-affiliate, the Louisville Bats, in two seasons. Following his release in 2014, Silverio entered independent baseball, appearing in the American Association, Mexican League, and the Atlantic League, before following his former Sugar Land skipper, Pete Incaviglia, to the Frontier League, and Tri-City, in 2021.
Following his arrival at ValleyCats Spring Training last May, Juan Silverio established himself as an integral part of the ball club. Playing in all but one game during the 2021 season, the Frontier League All-Star hit .310 with 107 hits, 16 HR, and 53 RBI. Silverio’s 88th hit of the season on August 28th surpassed ValleyCats great and 2016 World Series MVP Ben Zobrist for most hits in a single-season in franchise history.
The ValleyCats will announce returning players throughout the week and the remainder of their updated 2022 roster on Friday, February 25.
