Solitaria, who also played first base and third base as a freshman, hit .294 with a team-high 16 homers, 47 RBIs and 49 runs scored during his sophomore season.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound outfielder also stole 11 bases in 13 attempts and was 7-for-15 at the plate with one homer and four RBI in games against Tennessee and LSU.
He was named to the MAC’s first-team all-conference team two years ago as that league’s Freshman of the Year. He will likely play in the outfield alongside Anthony Pack Jr. and Jonah Williams and joins Saint Mary’s catcher Ian Armstrong and Texas Tech shortstop Linkin Garcia as probable starters next season.
