Biographical Information

Infielder Nicolás Solari played for the Argentinian national team in the 2010 South American Games (they won Bronze), the 2010 Pan American Games Qualifying Tournament (1 for 14), 2011 South American Championship (Gold), 2012 South American Championship (Gold) and 2015 South American Championship.

He hit .133/.350/.133 with as many errors (2) as hits (2) but five walks in six games when Argentina took the Silver in the 2016 South American Championship; he had their lowest average. In the 2018 South American Championship, he hit .333/.455/.444 with 2 runs and 3 RBI, splitting short with Agustín Tissera (he sat out Argentina's win in the Gold Medal Game as Tissera played that contest). He helped Argentina qualify for the 2019 Pan American Games. In the Pan Am Games, he backed up Federico Gómez at short and Eduardo Zurbriggen at DH. He scored four runs in their rout of Peru and was 4 for 5, seeing pretty much all his action that game. He still led Argentina in runs, one ahead of Gómez and Sebastián García and tied for third in hits (behind García and Tissera).

Solari coached for Argentina in the 2023 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers.

Off the field, he owns a clothing company.
