"Lopez's diminished velocity in Spring Training was due to 'mechanics' rather than injury, as he had previously thrown in the high 90s during his 2026 debut."
"After a promising start to the season, Lopez faced a career-worst outing in Washington, which raised questions about his effectiveness and future performance."
"Lopez's recent hiatus from pitching has been attributed to mechanical issues, which have caused wide variance in his fastball velocity and overall effectiveness."
Reynaldo Lopez experienced diminished velocity during Spring Training, attributed to mechanics rather than injury. His initial debut was successful despite poor pitching, but subsequent outings showed improvement until a poor performance in Washington raised concerns. Lopez has since been on a pitching hiatus, with mechanics again cited as the reason for his inconsistent fastball velocity and effectiveness. The exact mechanical issues remain unclear, leading to speculation about their impact on his performance and reluctance to go on the Injured List.
