WELCOME TO PINES | MANUEL “MANNY” SILVA
Pines is proud to officially welcome Manuel “Manny” Silva to our organization.
Beginning this spring, Manny will take over Pines pitching development throughout our organization. He will also be available for private one-on-one pitching lessons.
Manny began his coaching career in 2022 as a volunteer at Atkinson County High School. He then spent two seasons at Citizens Christian Academy as the pitching coach, where he was part of the 2025 GIAA Class A State Championship team.
His coaching experience also includes PennWest Clarion at the NCAA Division II level, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters of the Northwoods League, and service as the inaugural pitching coach for the Richmond Flying Mummies in 2026. Most recently, Manny spent the fall coaching at Chattanooga State Community College at the NJCAA Division I level.
As a player, Manny attended Concord University from 2018–2019 before continuing his career in independent and international baseball from 2021–2025. His playing experience included the Mavericks League and the Baseball WA Winter League in Australia.
Those experiences across high school, collegiate, summer-league, independent, and international baseball have shaped Manny’s understanding of pitching, development, preparation, and leadership. We are excited for him to invest that experience into Pines athletes and help build a consistent pitching-development system throughout our organization.
At Pines, development is about more than mechanics, velocity, or results. We want coaches who will teach the game, lead with purpose, hold players accountable, and invest in the young men entrusted to them. Manny’s experience and commitment to development make him a valuable addition to what God is building through Pines.
“As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” — Proverbs 27:17 NKJV
