Reynaldo Lopez burst onto the scene last year when he saw a velocity jump and command improvement. He got onto everyone’s radar by hitting 100 and showing a solid average CB and flashing an average changeup. Lopez, for me, showed a consistent delivery and I believe his average present command will turn to true form and become plus at the highest level. He commands both sides of the plate and all four quadrants in any count with all three of his pitches. Lopez has a sturdy base and thicker build than a guy like Yordano Ventura. I think he will have an 80/55/50 arsenal with plus command making him a role 7; #2 SP at the highest level being his ceiling.
OFP: Role 70; #2 SP
