What’s more impressive is that he did it all before turning 18-years-old. Luis Lopez will celebrate his 18th tomorrow. A Las Tablas, Panama native, Lopez signed with the Miami Marlins through free agency on July 2nd, 2018. Former major leaguer Randall Delgado (Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks) also originated out of Las Tablas, and Lopez aims to be the second from the city to make it.
For his first professional look, Lopez started and allowed three unearned runs while striking out two in two innings of an 8-3 win over the DSL Braves on June 5th.
