Two Rockers pitches have contracts purchased

Two Rockers pitches have contracts purchased

July 8, 2025 by Steve Shutt

HIGH POINT, N.C. – Two of the High Point Rockers starting pitchers, Tommy Doyle and Matt Solter, have had their contracts purchased by teams in the Mexican League. Doyle will be joining Yucatan while Solter’s contract has been acquired by Tijuana.

The Leones de Yucatan (Yucatan Lions) are currently in sixth place in the 10-team South Division of the Mexican League. The Toros de Tijuana (Tijuana Bulls) are in the North Division and reside in sixth place.

Doyle and Solter bring to nine the number of Rockers who have had their contracts acquired by a Major League team or foreign league in 2025. Since 2019, 48 Rockers players have advanced to MLB or another professional league.

“Matt and Tommy were very essential in us winning the first half championship,” said Rockers manager Jamie Keefe. “And this is the very reason why the Rockers and this league exist, to give players an opportunity to showcase their talents and advance their career. We’re happy for both of them and know they’ll be successful.”

Doyle joined the Rockers at the end of spring training and became the team’s closer early on, earning five saves. He transitioned into a role in the starting rotation in June and made four starts. For the season, Doyle was 1-3 with a 4.02 ERA and five saves.

Solter was a fixture in the Rockers starting rotation, making a team-high 10 starts and posting a 7-2 record with a 3.50 ERA. Solter set the club record with three complete games this season and tossed a pair of shutouts. He threw a complete game one-hitter in a 3-0 win at Gastonia on April 28 and added a nine-inning complete game two-hitter over Lexington on May 17.

The Rockers won the Atlantic League’s South Division first half championship and are now guaranteed a berth in the postseason playoffs. High Point tied the club record with 41 first half wins and will entertain North Division champion York in a three-game series at Truist Point starting tonight.

Luplow acquired by Dos Laredos

Luplow acquired by Dos Laredos

July 2, 2025 by Steve Shutt

HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point Rockers outfielder Jordan Luplow has had his contract acquired by the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican Baseball League.

Luplow joined the Rockers on May 11 but was inactive from May 23 until June 24. After rejoining the club, Luplow enjoyed his greatest moment as a Rocker on June 27, capping a six-run ninth inning rally with a walk-off three run homer to defeat Lancaster 7-4 at Truist Point. The win cut High Point’s magic number to one before winning the Atlantic League’s South Division first half championship.

Despite playing in just 14 games for High Point, Luplow, 31, hit .255 with four homers and 13 RBI while drawing eight walks and scoring nine runs. He spent part of seven seasons in Major League baseball, primarily with Pittsburgh and Cleveland, before joining the Rockers.

Luplow will report to Dos Laredos in the coming days. Dos Laredos (translation: two Laredos) is a binational team that splits its home games between Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and Laredo, Texas. The Tecoletes (Owls) are the only Mexican League team to play outside of Mexico.

Luplow is the seventh Rocker to have their contract purchased this season and the 46th in club history.

The Rockers play game two of their home series with Gastonia tonight at 6:35 p.m. at Truist Point.

Edwards, Solter honored by Atlantic League

Edwards, Solter honored by Atlantic League

June 4, 2025 by Steve Shutt

HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point Rockers first baseman Evan Edwards and pitcher Matt Solter have been named the Atlantic League Player and Pitcher of the Month for April/May. The ALPB made the announcement on Wednesday.

Edwards, 27, led the Atlantic League in the three “triple crown” categories of batting average (.375), home runs (13) and RBI (43). Edwards played in 29 games, had 12 multiple-RBI games including a career-high seven against Southern Maryland on April 27, and added three multiple homer games. In addition, Edwards led the league in total bases and slugging percentage and was riding a league-best 15-game hitting streak when his contract was purchased by the Los Angeles Angels on May 29.

Solter, 31, went 4-1 with two complete game shutouts over the first five weeks of the season. He was one out away from a seven-inning no-hitter in a 3-0 win at Gastonia on April 28, finishing with a one-hitter. He then tossed a nine inning two-hit shutout over Lexington at May 17 and finished with six shutout innings in a win over Charleston on May 29. Solter posted a 3.78 ERA and struck out 34 in his 38 innings of work. Solter shares the Pitcher of the Month award with York reliever Cam Robinson who was 3-1 with seven saves for the Revolution.

Solter and Edwards were the spark plugs to High Point’s 25-8 start to the Atlantic League season and their seven-game lead in the ALPB’s South Division.

Edwards is just the second High Point position player to earn the league’s Player of the Month award, joining Dante Bichette, Jr. who earned the honor in April/May of 2019. Solter is the fourth High Point pitcher so honored along with Cooper Casad (July 2021), Tommy Lawrence (August 2021) and Brady Lail (April 2022).
