LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 National Underclass Dec 28-30
Lopez is a 5-11 junior right handed pitcher from Texas with a medium build and limited physical strength. He threw 4 nice innings in Fort Myers, striking out 8 hitters. Lopez is a polished pitcher with solid delivery mechanics who can hits spots in the strike zone, gets ahead in the count and shows poise on the mound. His fastball was in the 81-82 mph range but his strikeout pitch was a 65-66 mph curveball that had hard, sharp biting action. Lopez showed very good command of curveball. He also mixed in a couple of 69-71 mph change ups. If Lopez gets stronger and adds some velocity to his pitches over the next 2 years, his breaking ball and pitching ability will let him have success at the next level. Lopez is also a very good student with a 4.0+ grade point average.
