MLB 2014 Reds Sixth Round Draft pick: Jose Lopez RHP Seton Hall

Please post any info on Jose Lopez RHP Seton Hall in this thread

This from Hillsdale87 in draft thread.

Lopez was ranked the #100 college player in December. Here's the report they had on him. Sounds like he throws hard

Jose Lopez, rhp, Seton Hall (No. 100): Lopez has been a dependable setup man and spot starter for two seasons at Seton Hall, and four of his nine appearances in the Cape League last summer were starts. He posted a 4.90 ERA in the Cape, but he opened eyes by showing 96-98 mph heat in one-inning stints after the summer. At 6-foot-1, 170 pounds, Lopez has a slight build but a quick arm, and he has the makings of a solid slider.

According to Seton Hall's website, it appears that Jose missed the whole 2014 season with injuries. Looks like he had pretty good K #s his freshman and sophomore year, though.

Injured all of 2014. Buckley has close contacts in NJ, inside info on this kid. Good pick.

Sounds like he had TJ surgery in January
