Eddie Solomon Jr. (February 9, 1951 – January 12, 1986), nicknamed "Buddy J", was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who appeared in 191 games for six teams between 1973 and 1982.

But he appeared in only eight games over two seasons as a Dodger, and was included, with Geoff Zahn, in the impactful May 2, 1975, trade in which Los Angeles acquired Burt Hooton from the Cubs.

Nevertheless, his performance attracted the attention of the defending World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates, who acquired Solomon late in spring training in 1980.

As a big leaguer, Solomon posted a 36–42 career won–lost mark with a 4.00 earned run average in 191 games, almost evenly split between starts (96) and relief appearances (95).

Slightly more than two years after his final pro season, Solomon died in a one-car accident in Macon, Georgia, on January 12, 1986, at age 34.
