Last night in Tennessee, Jose Lopez took the mound for Pensacola. The 23-year-old right handed pitcher tossed a complete game, 7-inning shutout in game 1 of a double header. He allowed just one baserunner, giving up a single to Ian Rice in the 2nd inning. Lopez would also strike out seven batters.
It was just another start over the last five weeks that was dominant. Going back over his last seven starts in Double-A, Jose Lopez has been downright incredible. He’s thrown 47.0 innings since then and allowed 21 hits and eight walks. That’s also come with 41 strikeouts and just two home runs.
