The former Future Games standout is heading into the spring looking to bounce back after a bit of struggle last season. If he does what he showed at this event a bounce back will happen. Lopez shows innate bat-to-ball skills with the ability to leave the yard on occasion as well. His ability to hit the ball hard to all fields (98mph max EV) along with his ability to play the small game makes him a versatile offensive player. Has up the middle defensive skills with enough arm (87 INF velo) to make all the throws. Lopez should have the opportunity to show next level coaches that he’s one of the better uncommitted players in his class.
