Jordy Lopez gives Cal a two-way spark with pop, arm, and versatility
In the 2026 season, Jordy Lopez has been a useful two-way piece for California, flashing left-handed versatility as an outfielder and pitcher while also delivering a walk-off homer against Sacramento State—his first career home run[1][2]. He entered 2026 as a sophomore after making 14 mound appearances in 2025, and his profile suggests value beyond the box score: Cal has trusted him in leverage spots, and scouting notes point to sneaky pull-side pop and hard contact. He looks like a fit for teams that want competitive edge, flexibility, and upside.
