Franky Lopez, Academy Barons

Franky Lopez was named CCL Pitcher of the Week for the week of July 6 through July 12 thanks to 5.1 innings of one-run ball spanning two outings with 11 strikeouts. 

Both of Lopez’s appearances came against the Santa Barbara Foresters. On July 2, he struck out the side in order, and fresh out of the Showcase Game break, he delivered 4.1 innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts. He only allowed one hit over his 5.1 innings. 

These were Lopez’s first two outings of the summer. The Barons added a power right-handed arm as they make their playoff push.
