Healthy Solomon Could Help Astros Sooner than Later
Joe Dwyer/SR Photography Part of a unique 2017 Astros class, Peter Solomon was drafted alongside college teammate Brandon Bielak as a fourth-round selection by Houston. Solomon had been a fairly high profile prep player who drew attention for his ideal frame and some high octane stuff, but he never really figured out strike throwing as a collegiate, which caused a slide into the middle rounds. The Astros were excited to get him though, and felt they could quickly correct some mechanical issues to get his location on track.
