Aiden Lopez brings live-arm upside to Marist’s pitching staff
Aiden Lopez is a freshman right-handed pitcher for Marist who drew buzz in fall ball for a compact frame, lively arm talent, and a curveball with good shape; one report clocked him at 87–89 mph with room for more velocity growth in the 2026 season.[3] Marist’s roster lists him as a 5'9", 185-pound RHP from Bristol Central, and the season page shows he did not appear in game action during 2026, so the appeal here is upside more than box-score production right now.[1][2] If you want a developmental arm with strike-throwing potential and projection left in the tank, he’s intriguing; if you need an immediate innings-eater, he’s still a work-in-progress.[3]
