Alejo Lopez

I don't keep a close eye on the reds minor league prospects.  Whenever a guy gets to the majors and starts of hitting really well I immediately check out his minor league stats to see if he is legit or just on a hot streak until ML [pitchers get the book on him.

Lopez was absolutely killing it this year in both AA (.362/.437/.448) and AAA (.358/.436/.526), He did not hit that well in A+ but that was in 2019.  In 2020 he played for a Mexican League team instead of a Reds farm team.  Hard to tell the level of competition there.

He's legit. He's only had one kind of off season and that was last year when a lot of people were off.. Mexican leagues can be great instructional leagues for certain players, but also lets them stay sharp in the off season..
