Prep Baseball Report

West Coast Super Sophomore Games Spotlight - INF Kingston Lopez

Associate Scout

As we conclude 2025, Prep Baseball Oregon continues our series of Player Spotlights. This series aims to highlight standout performers at our top invite-only events, including the PNW State Games, Future Games, and West Coast Super Sophomore Games. Prep Baseball spotlights aim to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.

Today, we spotlight INF Kingston Lopez. The sophomore from Ridgeview High School put together multiple quality looks this year, first at PNW Preseason All-State, then at the Bend Summer ID before attending Super Sophomore Games.

A wiry 6'0 athlete, Lopez's showcases are highlighted by exit velocities up to 90 MPH and a 7.2 run time. Below is a complete player profile breakdown.
