Lefty bat, middle-infield versatility, and instant pop for Hawai'i
In the 2026 season, Briana Maio-Silva has been a productive freshman for Hawai'i, hitting .296 with 3 home runs, 9 RBI, and a .933 OPS while also showing speed on the bases. What makes her intriguing is the combo package: left-handed hitter, middle-infield range, and enough arm to project at shortstop or in the outfield, plus she delivered a homer in her first official collegiate at-bat. Coaches praised her strong throw and power from the left side, which makes her a fit for teams that value athletic, versatile, high-upside infielders who can bring a little spark, too.
