One player that has gotten off to a good start this season has been left-handed pitcher Anthony Solometo.
The Pirates don’t have a wide array of left-handed pitching prospects, and he is seeing his success in High-A at just 20-years-old.
Pitching in Greensboro this year wasn’t going to be easy, it rarely is for any pitching prospect, but Solometo did show signs that he may be able to handle the confines of First National Bank Field back in Bradenton.
Solometo was one of a handful of pitchers in the system last year to have a Swinging Strike rate of at least 13%, as well as a ground ball rate of over 50%.
