Anthony Solometo Listed on MLB Pipeline’s Prospect Second Team
MLB Pipeline assembled lists for First Team prospects and Second Team prospects. Pittsburgh Pirates prospect lefty, Anthony Solometo, made the latter.
Solometo was Pittsburgh’s second round draft selection in 2021 out of Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in New Jersey.
The Pirates assigned Solometo to High A Bradenton, for the beginning of the 2023 season. In a dozen starts, he recorded an ERA of 2.30, while striking out 68 batters in 58.2 innings(10.4 K/9).
Solometo was given a promotion to AA Altoona on June 14th. He posted a 4.35 ERA, with 50 strikeouts in 51.2 innings pitched (8.7 K/9). Although the numbers didn’t seem that strong, with the Curve, Solometo is only 20, which is a very young age, for AA competition.
MLB Pipeline currently has Solometo ranked as the fourth best prospect in the Pirates’ system. He should return to Altoona to begin 2024.
