Samuel Solis (born August 10, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Solis attended Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Arizona. Playing for the school's baseball team, he had a 7–3 win–loss record and a 1.77 earned run average (ERA) with 117 strikeouts and 29 walks with 25 hits allowed in 59 1⁄3 innings pitched in his sophomore year. He shared West Valley High School Baseball Player of the Year honors with Kole Calhoun. In his junior year, he had a 4–4 record and a 1.93 ERA, and recorded 87 strikeouts with 23 walks and 45 hits in 63 2⁄3 innings. While in his junior year, he competed in the American Amateur Baseball Congress and won the 2006 Connie Mack World Series. As a senior, Solis had a 8–2 record, a 2.40 ERA, and 98 strikeouts to 43 hits and 23 walks in 61 1⁄3 innings. He was again named West Valley's High School Baseball Co-Player of the Year, along with Cody Cress. Solis finished his high school career with a 25–8 win–loss record and 398 strikeouts, the second-most in Arizona Class 4A history.
Baseball America ranked Solis as the 53rd-best prospect available in the 2007 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Solis in the 18th round of the draft, but he did not sign in order to play college baseball. Solis attended the University of San Diego, where he played for the San Diego Toreros baseball team. As a freshman, Solis had a 3–1 record and a 3.83 earned run average (ERA) in 17 games pitched, which included seven games started. Expected to pitch more in 2009 due to Brian Matusz signing a professional contract, Solis instead injured his back while weightlifting. He returned as a redshirt sophomore in 2010, and had a 9–2 record and a 3.42 ERA with 92 strikeouts and 82 hits allowed in 92 innings pitched. He was named All-West Coast Conference.
