Otto Lopez shines despite Marlins' lossApril 28, 2024 | 06:05 AM

Otto Lopez went 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in the Marlins' 11-4 defeat to the Nationals. Writer's Analysis: This performance, featuring his first homer of the season, offered a glimpse of potential amidst a slow start. With a batting average now at .267 through seven games, Lopez is showing signs of heating up, but his lack of walks and high strikeout rate could limit his on-base opportunities. His .310 wOBA indicates some effectiveness at the plate, yet the .250 BABIP suggests he might be experiencing some bad luck with balls in play. Fantasy managers should monitor Lopez for signs of consistent playing time and improvement in plate discipline, which could make him a viable option in deeper leagues.
