In MLB, López earned recognition as one of the most effective left-handed relief pitchers of his era. His unorthodox sidearm delivery gave him a deceptive advantage over left-handed hitters, solidifying his role as a situational pitcher—or "LOOGY" (Lefty One-Out Guy). Over his career, he was trusted in high-leverage situations, particularly during playoff games, for his ability to neutralize left-handed batters effectively.
