On this edition of the Pirates’ Prospect Update, we take a look at another young arm in Pittsburgh’s system, lefty Anthony Solometo.
The Pirates’ crop of Minor League talent has no shortage of disposable pitchers, and 2023 saw Solometo rise through the ranks and finish the season as the Bucco’s fourth ranked prospect. Drafted out of Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in New Jersey with the 37th overall pick in 2021, Solometo would make his full-season debut with Bradenton in 2022.
Recognized for his unorthodox style, the left-handed pitcher has seen his fastball touch 93mph with a capable slider hitting the mid-80s.
