Baseball America ranked Solís as the 53rd-best prospect available in the 2007 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft.

Solís attended the University of San Diego, where he played for the San Diego Toreros baseball team.

He pitched for the Chatham A\'s of the Cape Cod Baseball League in the summer of 2008, pitching largely out of the rotation.

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.\n', '
