  • Behind the Jersey: The Relentless Pursuit of Chase Solesky's Big League Dream
    Oct 19 2024

    Get ready for an electrifying episode of Behind the Jersey, featuring Chase Solesky, a pitcher in the Washington Nationals organization who's faced the ups, downs, and unexpected twists of a true baseball odyssey. This is the story of a Florida native who’s been defying the odds since he stepped on the mound.

    Chase’s journey started in Fort Pierce, Florida, where he made a name for himself at John Carroll Catholic High School. After high school, he took his talents to Tulane University in New Orleans, where he spent three years racking up a 12-9 record and striking out 123 batters in 163 innings. He was on the radar, and in 2019, the Chicago White Sox called his name in the 21st round of the MLB Draft. But that’s where the real battle began.

    Starting in the rookie leagues of Great Falls, Montana, his career hit a major roadblock when the 2020 minor league season was canceled due to the pandemic. While many players were left wondering what’s next, Chase wasn’t giving up. He fought through uncertainty and came back stronger in 2021, dominating Class-A ball and catching the attention of scouts. By the end of 2022, he was promoted to Double-A Birmingham—a major milestone in his journey.

    But the biggest challenge came in 2023. After putting up impressive numbers at Double-A, Chase got the call to Triple-A with the Charlotte Knights—a team packed with MLB veterans. The competition was fierce, and the pressure was on. It wasn’t the breakout season Chase had hoped for, but every setback became fuel for his fire.

    In March 2024, after being released by the White Sox, many thought his story was over. But Chase wasn’t done yet. He signed with the independent league’s Hagerstown Flying Boxcars, and just six weeks later, he was picked up by the Washington Nationals. Now, he’s back in the game and ready to chase his big-league dream once again.

    In this episode, Chase opens up about his relentless pursuit of greatness, the challenges he’s faced, and what it really takes to keep going when everything seems stacked against you. From the highs of pitching with big-league vets to the lows of being released, this is a story of resilience, passion, and the relentless grind of a baseball career.

    This isn’t just a story of a pitcher—it’s a story of never giving up. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation with Chase Solesky on Behind the Jersey.
