John Silviano is a 5’11”, 190 lb. outfielder from Hypoluxo, Florida. Born on July 11th, 1994, he was picked out of Summit Christian School in West Palm Beach by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 13th round of the 2012 draft, with the 415th choice off the board. For comparison’s sake, Devon Travis, who has a career 6.0 WAR with the Blue Jays already, was selected nine choices later (by the Detroit Tigers).
After his selection, and nine days after his 18th birthday, Silviano was assigned to the GCL Blue Jays, in the Florida-based rookie instructional league.
