Non-MLB
Paolo Espino has thrown 7,690 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (87mph) and Curve (69mph), also mixing in a Slider (75mph). He also rarely throws a Change (81mph).
In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has less armside movement than typical. Their curve has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2026) comes in below hitting speed, sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, has below average velo and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups.
