The first thing you see when you look at Miami Marlins pitcher Pablo Lopez as he takes the mound is he looks more muscular. It may be one of the reasons the second-year pitcher has been throwing harder and showing continued consistency on the mound.
It could also be the reason Lopez wins a spot in the team’s roation this year and has an immediate impact on the Marlins 2019 season. There is plenty of competition in camp to remain on the 25-man roster. Lopez is in the thick of what has become a fun group of young arms to watch.
