Marjory Stoneman Douglas infielder Salvador Lopez is taking his baseball career to the next level after officially committing to Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“It feels great to commit after all the hard work I’ve put in throughout the years since I first started playing baseball,” Lopez said. “It’s a special feeling to see all that hard work pay off. At the same time, I know this is only the beginning. The hard work doesn’t stop here, and I’m excited for what the future holds.”

Lopez began his baseball career in Venezuela, where he played for Gran Mariscal. After moving to the United States, he continued developing his skills with several organizations, including Margate Legacy and the Parkland Pokers. Most recently, he has competed with the Franklin Scout Team and Original Florida Pokers.

When it came to choosing a college, Lopez was impressed by Xavier’s coaching staff and its dedication to player development. He was particularly drawn to the program’s emphasis on helping athletes reach their full potential while establishing a winning culture.

Lopez believes Xavier offers the ideal opportunity to keep improving on and off the field as he prepares for the next chapter of his baseball career. Prior to college, Lopez will have two years left to play for the six-time defending State Champions at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
