Non-MLB
Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2026, Paolo Espino threw 7,611 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2017 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (87mph) and Curve (70mph), also mixing in a Slider (76mph) and Change (82mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball comes in below hitting speed and has slightly less natural 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 and has sweeping glove-side movement. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 18 of them in 2025) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, has exceptional depth and is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, dives down out of the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and has slightly below average velo.
