Anthony Solometo, a 6-foot-5 lefty whose delivery elicits Madison Bumgarner comps, had an excellent 2023 season while splitting time between High-A and Double-A. He registered a 3.26 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 118 strikeouts in 110.1 innings while making 24 starts. Solometo was slightly more successful at High-A than at Double-A, although he did trim his walk rate from 10.7 percent to 6.5 percent against more advanced competition. His low-90s fastball plays up as a plus pitch due to his deceptive delivery, and his slider is a devastating mid-80s offering. Solometo's changeup is also solid, and he showed starter-level command at Double-A as a 20-year-old. He should spend the bulk of the year at Triple-A and could join the big-league rotation in late 2024 or early 2025.

  • Pirates' Anthony Solometo: Recovered from illness

    Solometo (illness) returned to the mound April 7 after missing portions of spring training due to an illness. Solometo was forced to miss the Spring Breakout game due to a serious case of the flu that made its way through the Pirates' clubhouse. However, he was able to return to throw four scoreless innings while allowing one hit with Double-A Altoona on April 7 -- though he did walk three. Solometo is one of the better prospects in Pittsburgh's minor-league system, and there's a chance he could make it to the big-league roster toward the end of the 2024 campaign.

  • Pirates' Anthony Solometo: Not available for Spring Breakout

    Solometo is recovering from a case of the flu and won't be available to pitch Thursday in the Pirates' Spring Breakout game against the Orioles, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Solometo will miss out on the opportunity to test himself against a group of the Orioles' elite hitting prospects after coming down with the illness earlier this week. The 21-year-old lefty was able to complete a side session Wednesday, so he shouldn't be too far away from returning to game action in minor-league spring training contests. Solometo is likely to open the 2024 campaign at Double-A Altoona, where he finished the 2023 season and with whom he posted a 4.35 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB across 51.2 innings.

  • Pirates' Anthony Solometo: Moved to development list

    Solometo was placed on the development list Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. A second-round pick by the Pirates in 2021, Solometo has impressed during his time in professional ball. He had a sub-3.00 ERA at each of his first three stops and has posted a 3.48 ERA and 36:7 K:BB over 33.2 innings as a 20-year-old at Double-A Altoona. Chances are, this is just a way to manage his workload -- he's already at 92.1 innings for the season after throwing just 47.2 frames last year.
