2026 review

Daniel Espino worked out of the CLE bullpen in 14 games with 3 starts, with 12 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 3 HR, 7 BB, 25 SO and 1 HLD. He posted a 4.11 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 15.1 IP, with a 38.5 K% and a 10.8 BB% over 65 BF. He shuttled between the majors and the minors on Mar 8, Jun 12, Jul 3, Jul 28, Jul 29 and Sep 4. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1132, he finished 594th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 328th of 811 pitchers, and 240th of 575 relief pitchers. The TDK LABS card described a clean debut in mid-Jun with swings and misses but placed him as bullpen depth without a path to saves or holds. By late Jul it had him back down after a short big-league look, with a crowded bullpen ahead of him. By mid-Sep it had him opening games in a short-leash role, and by late Sep it still described him as a back-of-pen long reliever and occasional opener, capped after an outing that allowed several earned runs in one inning.
