Lopez was a standout at the IE Rising Stars ID and nothing changed at the Rising Stars Game. A two-way standout, Lopez flashes legitimate shortstop tools with fast, soft hands with an above average arm (84 mph) with throws that flash carry. He also worked out in the outfield where the arm was just as good and accurate with a best throw at 82 mph. In the game he was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a 2 RBI single. There’s sneaky power in his game overall, but at the dish it was loud contact where he flashes feel for the barrel while keeping it in the zone for a long time through to contact. On the mound he retired four of the five hitters he faced that included a strikeout on a nasty slider while also showing excellent instincts on a soft chopper in front of the plate where he called off the catcher and threw a dart to first to get the runner that ran a 4.52 home-to-first.
