Lopez

5-foot-9, 145-pound, Lopez showed well this past weekend at the Tucson open. At the plate Lopez showed a simple and compact swing that produced line drives to both fields. Lopez has a short simple set up and light toe lift load, his hands work inside well with a barrel path to match working on plane and producing quality contact. With added size we see Lopez being a gap-to-gap type hitter. Behind the plate Lopez had a smooth transfer and good arm topping at 74 mph down to second base. Lopez did show some accuracy issues with misses to the second base side of the bag, but when on the bag showed times under 2.0. The Arizona staff is looking forward to following Lopez’s progression as he goes into his Sophomore season at Cienega.
