LAST WIN: 5/12/21 at SAL LAST LOSS: 7/15/21 at LAN
LAST HR ALLOWED: 6/30/21 vs. DEL (Mason Janvrin) NO-HITTER/PERFECT GAME: None LAST TIME OUT: In his first High-A start, Espino struck out nine Lansing Lugnuts across four innings, but took
the loss after allowing two runs on three hits. The right-hander struck out two men in the first, struck out the side in the third, picked up two more K’s in the third and two more in the fourth. Espino surrendered a run in the first inning on an RBI single by Jordan Díaz and gave up a run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Cobie Vance.
PROSPECTING: Espino ranks as Cleveland’s #5 prospect according to FanGraphs, #6 by MLB.com and #9 by Baseball America.
TOP PICK: Cleveland drafted Espino with their first round pick (24
thoverall) in the 2019 MLB Draft. The right- hander earned a $2.5 million signing bonus. He was committed to play at Louisiana State University before signing with Cleveland.
SCOUTING REPORT: “Espino works at 94-97 mph and can touch triple digits with his fastball, imparting running life on his four-seamer and heavy sink on his two-seamer. He backs up his heat with a pair of bat- missing breaking balls, with his low-80s slider sharper and grading better than his high-70s curveball. His changeup is more of a work in progress that gets too firm at times but also features some promising sink.”

PANAMA → GEORGIA: Espino was born and grew up in Panama, but moved to the United States when he was a sophomore in high school and pitched for Georgia Premier Academy in Statesboro, GA. As Mandy Bell wrote in her MLB.com article on Espino, Espino spent time in the U.S. for baseball when he was 10 and decided then that he wanted to move there. When Daniel was 15, he went to his parents and told them he needed to move to the United States to pursue his baseball dreams. When asked about his decision to move to the U.S., Espino said “My mom and dad wanted me to finish high school first and then worry about the next, but I love playing baseball. I had the opportunity to [visit America] when I was 10 years old and I loved it. Now, the sacrifice is paying off (Source: The Record-Courier).
PANAMANIAN ROLE MODEL: Espino idolized Panamanian star and Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera as a child.
FIRST SINCE FRANCISCO: When he advanced to Mahoning Valley in 2019, Espino became the first high schooler promoted by Cleveland to the Short Season level since Francisco Lindor in 2011.
2020: Pitched at Classic Park, which was Cleveland’s alternate training site, before doing remote development prior to the fall instructional league. Espino did not pitch at instructs due to a minor shoulder injury (Source:
FanGraphs).
2019: Made his professional debut in the Rookie Level Arizona League and posted a 1.98 ERA before being bumped up to Short Season Mahoning Valley. Espino posted a 6.30 ERA with the Scrappers over three starts.
Though he made nine starts and did not make any relief appearances, Espino never pitched more than four innings in a single professional game during his debut season.
