4/30/24 Jorge Lopez turning back to sinker paying dividends early in Mets tenure. When Jeremy Hefner dug into the 2022 version of Jorge López, he noticed sinkers . A lot of them. López attributed his success that year — a 1.62 ERA when he trekked to Dodger Stadium for his lone All-Star appearance — to the grip, too. Half of his 1,161 pitches were sinkers. It buzzed across the plate at an average of 98 mph. 3 Jorge Lopez has been dominant for the Mets so far this year.

3/12/24 Ex-closer Jorge Lopez believes he still has the 'stuff' to be key arm in Mets bullpen. PORT ST. LUCIE — Carlos Mendoza witnessed it firsthand when he was with the Yankees. The slider. The two-seam fastball. Jorge Lopez, in 2022, was the dynamic anchor of the Orioles' bullpen, and six of his first 44 appearances — where 19 saves prompted an All-Star appearance — came against their AL East rival. But after the stretch, that version of Lopez disappeared. His ERA ballooned from 1.68 to 4.37 after Baltimore dealt him to the Twins in 2022, and the converted starter was traded once and designated for assignment twice within the past 12 months before reaching free agency for the first time. The Mets still made him their first bullpen signing of the offseason, though. Mets pitcher Jorge

2/25/24 Mets reliever Jorge Lopez can be 'as electric as anyone in the game'. When Mets folks talk about Jorge Lopez, they tend to strike two notes: That he has some of the most electric pure stuff in baseball, and that he has built up more emotional strength to handle adversity than nearly anyone.

12/20/23 Grading the Mets' Jorge Lopez signing. While they've been extremely active with minor league signings and waiver claims, the Mets finally made their first major league addition to the bullpen, signing Jorge Lopez to a one-year, $2 million deal. A former top prospect with the Brewers during the middle of the last decade (yes, you're old) who made the All-Star Game in 2022, Lopez will be looking to rebound in middle relief for the Mets after a poor 2023. Lopez's career before 2022 was a disaster, with an ERA over five (and most of the time over 6) in every major league season in which he received any notable playing time.

3/05/23 The Twins' improved depth is already looking extremely important. The story of the 2022 Minnesota Twins centers around early overachievement by a mediocre pitching staff, some midseason regression to the mean, a pile of unfortunate injuries, and a September collapse that plummeted them to third place in the A.L. Central. Between last year's trade deadline and this offseason, the Twins front office has addressed the pitching staff in a variety of ways, acquiring bullpen help in the form of Jorge Lopez and starters Pablo Lopez and Tyler Mahle. The staff's talent level is much greater than it was even 12 months ago, with late-spring training acquisitions Emilio Pagan and Chris Paddack in the fold as well, although the former struggled mightily last year and the latter is out for several more months after Tommy John surgery. The other issue that the front office had to address is purely related to depth, and now, only a week into the Spring Training schedule, we're already starting to see why an improved depth chart was so incredibly important.

3/03/23 Getting reliever Jorge Lopez back on track key task for Twins. When the Minnesota Twins struck a trade deadline day deal with Baltimore last season for Jorge Lopez, they thought they were trading for an all-star closer who had been one of the best in the business for the first few months of the 2022 season. Getting Lopez, who threw a scoreless inning in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox at Hammond Stadium, back to his all-star level will be an important task for the Twins, who are relying on the 30-year-old to help anchor the back end of their bullpen this season.

9/23/22 Reusse: Dissecting Lopez’s catastrophic fall from grace with Twins. The Baltimore Orioles were 52-110 in 2021, the most losses since the St. Louis Browns moved to Maryland in 1954. As this was occurring, the Orioles continued to send out Jorge Lopez as a starting pitcher. Lopez was a 28-year-old righthander with what appeared to be excellent pitches — both in speed and sinkage. And yet in start after start, Lopez would hit a wall and depart looking at another ...

He was kind of giving me the whatever face, and I just argued with him about it, like, ‘Hey, you know I’ve been throwing inside the whole year.
