Lopez is a switch-hitting center fielder with a good approach and a free and easy swing from both sides of the plate. He might be a better overall hitter from the left side of the plate, but he has more power from the right side. Like most teens his age, Lopez is working on improving pitch recognition, but he already has a good feel for the strike zone and shows good rhythm and timing in the batter's box.
The teenager is going to hit. Lopez has quick hands and has also shown glimpses of power in games, with the ball jumping off of his bat. More power could come as he develops. Overall, Lopez is viewed as a skilled prospect with emerging tools who has already shown improvement and increased strength in the past several months. On defense, he has shown good defensive actions with a playable arm. He's also been praised for his makeup.
Lopez is from Santiago, Dominican Republic, and trains with Aldo Marrero. The Red Sox are the favorite to sign him.
