| Summary: Alay Soler made eight starts and had one complete game shutout for the 2006 New York Mets after defecting from Cuba, now his son Alan looks to follow in his dad’s footsteps and get to the big leagues. His path hit a speed bump this year as he did have to shut down his season early and undergo Tommy John surgery which will cause him to miss a chunk of the 2026 season and slowed what was expected to be a massive rise up the ranks. The tall projectable lefty sits in the low 90s with his fastball, already touching mid 90s despite an incredibly lean frame. Add to that it comes out of a lower arm slot, the pitch played up and could develop into a genuine above average fastball after adding some velo. His best pitch is his slider that has plenty of depth and sweep to it in the high 70s and a solid changeup in the low 80s, although the shape isn’t great currently. He can fill up the zone and has a ton of projection, which could see him get paid enough on day two to sign him away from Central Florida, otherwise he will get to campus and I expect him to be one of the best mid-major arms in the country in 2027, after he is fully healthy. | |||||||||||
