Osi Lopez, La Joya Palmview (TX), 2028
Positional Profile: C/SS RHH/C/INF/RHP: Solid build with width through shoulders and back and strong lower half; projects well physically. Runner with good stride length and efficient start; speed should continue to improve. Open stance with a simple lower body load into an even launch. Hands work rhythmically into a solid hit position with elbows moving efficiently through the zone. Barrel stays on plane with solid release of the back side. G2G hitter with developing power and present bat/ball skill; impact should continue to firm with maturity. Defensively, feet move well to get into position at both catcher and infield spots. Plays through the ball with solid hands and positioning, with continued development to field out front and from proper foot alignment. Arm shows present strength with carry; further work on throws from angles and arm speed will enhance overall consistency. Pitching: Simple side rock step with high knee lift and some coil at the top of balance point. Gets into front side with present direction; keeping front side closed slightly longer will improve alignment. Full arm path from three-quarter slot with present hand speed. Fastball shows some ride and ability to create movement. Breaking ball and slider have shape and feel, with developing depth. Changeup has good speed differential with potential to improve action. Overall shows three-pitch mix with present feel and continued upside on the mound.

Another strong weekend. Behind the plate, popped 1.97-2.04 and was up to 79 with soft hands and a clean, quick release. Also defends well on the left side with rhythm, timing, and plenty of arm. Offensively features a short, compact stroke with quick hands and a flat path, gap-to-gap hitter with barrel skill.
