Eric Filia was born on July 6, 1992, in Carlsbad, California. He stands at 6 feet tall and weighs 195 pounds. Filia's journey to professional baseball began with a standout career at UCLA, where he played a crucial role in the Bruins' 2013 College World Series championship. His performance in college set the stage for his selection by the Seattle Mariners in the 20th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
Filia is known for his disciplined approach at the plate and ability to make consistent contact. His left-handed swing is characterized by a keen eye for the strike zone, leading to high on-base percentages. Defensively, he's versatile, capable of playing both corner outfield positions, which adds depth to any roster. His style is often compared to those who prioritize contact and on-base skills over power.
In the minor leagues, Filia has consistently demonstrated his hitting prowess, earning accolades such as the 2017 Arizona Fall League batting title with a .408 average. Although he has yet to make a significant impact in the MLB, his minor league achievements and ability to get on base make him a valuable asset for teams looking to bolster their lineup with a reliable hitter.
