Through 31.2 IP at Double-A Jacksonville, Pablo Lopez currently has a 0.28 ERA with 5.29 K/BB rate. Originally signed out of Venezuela in 2012 for $280,000 by the Seattle Mariners, Lopez has not had the smoothest ascent through the minor leagues. In 2014, Lopez went under the knife to receive Tommy John surgery. Three years later, he found himself as apart of a trade package headed out of Seattle to the Miami Marlins.
Lopez made his way to Miami in a 2017 trade that sent David Phelps to the Seattle Mariners. At the time of the deal, Lopez was struggling to establish himself at High-A with the Mariners in the pitching nightmare that is the California League.
