Alex Solis was Houston’s most reliable relief arm in 2026
In the 2026 season, Houston RHP Alex Solis emerged as one of the Cougars’ steadiest arms, appearing in a team-high 23 games and going 3-2 with 37 strikeouts in 37.2 innings while limiting opponents to a .285 average. He also earned a spot on the 2026 Pitcher of the Year Watch List and flashed real swing-and-miss ability with several multi-strikeout outings, including a perfect 5.0-inning, 6-K win early in the year. The bigger appeal: durable, competitive, and trusted in leverage—exactly the kind of strike-throwing righty coaches love to run out there.
