LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 14U Southwest Showcase
Nathanael Lopez is a 2025 3B/RHP/MIF/OF with a 5-11 145 lb. frame from Reseda, CA who attends Bishop Alemany. Posted a 7.57 in the 60 yard dash. Primary infielder, displayed mature footwork and moved very well to both sides. Smooth fielding skills showing some confidence in the glove work. Playable arm showed some present strength, gets elevated to throw missing the bag some but adjusts well. In the outfield his infield mechanics translated to the position. Some downhill intent with a decent glove, lack of lower half through the bag and uses the short arm slot to throw. Good athletic actions and made it work, effective secondary for now. Also pitched, the right hander was up to 75 mph with the fastball flashing feel for a 3 pitch mix. Long build with some looseness in the operation does a great job maintaining top-end velocity showing good conditioning and efficiency. Uses a simple delivery with a slight gather at the top of the belt-high leg lift. Fluid arm action was repeatable, does not generate much stress on the arm and has good body control getting down the hill. 11/5 shaped breaking ball comes out the hands clean with tight spin, reached for a developing CH that shows potential as he develops on the mound. Good present tools with plenty of room to advance. Good student.
