View Draft Report
Soltis has emerged this spring after not attending many national showcase events outside of the Area Code Games. The lefthanded hitter has a well-rounded skill set as an above-average runner with defensive instincts and athleticism. Soltis has a chance to stay in center but more likely fits in right field with at least an average arm. His speed plays well under way and allows him to take extra bases. He has an advanced feel to hit with a short stroke and is a selectively aggressive hitter who tracks pitches well and works counts. He has present strength and shows plus raw power in batting practice, and some scouts think he could hit as many as 20 home runs annually, while others question his power for a corner outfield spot and consider him a tweener. Scouts praise his makeup, work ethic and gamer mentality. Soltis, who turns 19 the day after the draft ends, will be a draft-eligible sophomore if he reaches Oregon. Teams that believe in his bat and profile value him in the top three rounds.
