Samuel Lopez brings freshman pop and polished bat-to-ball skills to CBU
In the 2026 season, Samuel Lopez has already flashed impact for California Baptist with multiple multi-hit games, including a 3-for-4, 2-RBI showing against Harvard, and his profile points to a high-contact, high-utility infielder who can also handle designated-hitter reps[1][4]. He arrived with a strong prep résumé at Summit High—First Team All-League MVP and First Team All-CIF as a senior—and brings a competitive, do-a-little-bit-of-everything vibe, plus enough versatility to move around the diamond and keep his bat in the lineup[4][12]. If you want a table-setter who plays with energy and already looks comfortable against good college pitching, he’s worth a serious look.[1][4]
