Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Although they have not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Raynel Espinal threw 1,711 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2023, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2023, they relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (91mph) and Change (86mph), also mixing in a Slider (79mph).


In 2023, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, has slight armside run and has slightly below average velo. Their change generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 8 of them in 2023) comes in below hitting speed, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and has primarily 12-6 movement.
