Uncommitted Spotlight: 2024 Kaiden Lopez


Rocco Iervasi
PBR Florida Director of Operations/Area Scout

This spring we will be highlighting players throughout the state with Uncommitted Spotlights. We will highlight one 2022, 2023, and 2024 player each week looking for a school to call home. The state of Florida is full of uncommitted players who have the talent to play at the next level. These players deserve as much exposure as they can get in order to help them find the right home.

Today, we will highlight 2024 Kaiden Lopez. Kaiden is a 5-foot-11, 170 pound OF/RHP from Oviedo High School. Outside of high school, Kaiden plays travel ball for Power Baseball. Kaiden was a big standout at the 2021 Sophomore State Games where he represented the East Region. A 6.82 runner with an above average arm in the outfield at 92 mph. Lopez is also a two-way athlete with his fastball recently in the upper 80's. Lopez's athleticism plays on both sides of the ball as is definite uncommitted follow in the 2024 class.
