Biographical Information

Alfredo Lopez has played in the minors and for the Mexican national team.

Lopez was drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 20th round of the 2010 Amateur Draft; the scout was Tim McDonnell. The utility infielder hit .222/.300/.222 for the GCL Marlins and .250/.400/.250 for the Jamestown Jammers that summer while also going 7-for-16 for the Jupiter Hammerheads. He hit .317/.391/.366 in 24 games for the Hammerheads in 2011 while having a .244/.306/.244 batting line in Jamestown. Lopez then hit .280/.374/.363 in Jupiter, and he played 25 games for the Jacksonville Suns with a .231/.333/.231 batting line in 2012. He also reached AAA in the '12 season, and he was 1-for-9 with the New Orleans Zephyrs.

The Californian struggled with the Greensboro Grasshoppers in 2013 as his batting line was .216/.270/.275, and he hit .297/.378/.359 for the Hammerheads. Lopez then batted .216/.298/.263 with the '14 Suns, and the Marlins released him. He represented Mexico in the 2015 Premier 12; the team brought in lots of Mexican-Americans due to a dispute between the Mexican League and the Mexican baseball federation. Lopez was 1-for-3, with a single against Yudai Ono of Japan, and he went 0-for-1 against the USA. He was the pinch-runner for Tim Torres against the Dominican Republic, and he went 0-for-4 versus Canada. He collected a single against Seth Simmons of the USA in 4 at-bats in the semifinal, and Mexico lost to Japan in the Bronze Medal Game.

Lopez hit .281/.341/.331 in 63 games for the Tigres de Quintana Roo in 2016, and his batting line was .263/.317/.316 with the Olmecas de Tabasco in 2017. The Mexican League went to a two-season format for 2018. He went 4-for-14 for the Acereros de Monclova in the spring, and he improved to .364/.364/.409 in 13 games in the autumn. Lopez improved to .338/.452/.481 as a solid bench player for the Acereros in 2019, but he slumped to .188/.278/.188 in 18 plate appearances in 2021 after the coronavirus shut down the minor leagues, causing him to miss 2020. He had a solid .404/.481/.522 batting line with 84 runs in 82 games for the Generales de Durango in 2022, becoming a regular for the first time, 11 years after his pro debut. He was 5th in runs, between Aneury Tavárez and batting champ Henry Urrutia; he was among the leaders in average. His 8 triples were second, two shy of Fernando Villegas Jr. He batted .226/.356/.250 for the Tomateros de Culiacan in the winter. Lopez extended his solid performance in 2023 as his batting line was .321/.386/.400 (and with his first 20-steal season, at age 33), but he slumped to .268/.333/.339 in 2024.

Through 2024, he has played every position except catcher during his pro career.
