Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Otto Lopez, a 20-year-old shortstop for the Miami Marlins, has emerged as a breakout fantasy asset in 2026 with an OPS nearly 200 points higher than 2025. After posting a .246/.305/.368 slash line with 15 HR and 15 SB in 2025, Lopez has become more aggressive offensively while improving his Hard Hit % by 8.3% (7th-best year-over-year improvement in baseball). Despite minor injuries, he is on track for an 8-win season and still has untapped power potential. His 2025 xBA of .269 suggests he was unlucky last year, indicating room for continued improvement.
