LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Sunshine West Showcase
Manuel Lopez is a 2022 C/2B with a 5-10 165 lb. frame from Mesa, AZ who attends Desert Ridge. Medium to large build with some length. Primary catcher, gains ground and replaces feet well on his throws down to second base. Transfers cleanly and gets out of his conventional crouch well. In the infield, fields out in front and stays in front of the ball well. Still developing fluidity on the move. Arm across the diamond stands to improve as he continues to fill out. At the plate, he's a switch hitter with a similar looking stance from both sides of the plate. Upright with a higher handset and simple stride trigger. Stays short to the ball from both sides. More barrel control from the left side of the plate. Looks to use the middle of the field.
