Daniel Espino
These ratings blend a limited performance sample with a historical peer baseline and remain provisional.
About these ratings
Tool ratings combine recorded performance with statistical estimates. Speed, arm, and fielding include outcome-based estimates rather than direct physical measurements.
Limited MLB evidence: 16.3% MLB and 83.8% level-adjusted minor-league estimate.
Minor-league estimate: 29.6% observed statistical weight and 70.4% historical peer baseline; individual tools use their own sample weights.
* On NTV, this indicates estimated or unverified inputs. CE uses an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable.
CE uses the best available contract information, including partial terms, estimated salaries, and projected team control. CE shows an asterisk only when current contract information is unavailable; free agents without a current agreement use 100*.
2026 win contribution
0.79 Player Wins · 0.36 expected from replacement · 0.43 wins above replacement
Includes contributions to every team played for in 2026. Perf expresses wins above replacement on a scale where 100 is average. How the win totals reconcile
Six-tool graphs show percentiles from available performance evidence. Speed uses baserunning outcomes; Arm uses position-adjusted throwing outcomes. Movement describes tracked pitch movement within pitch type. Minor-league comparisons account for competition level; unavailable measurements display MD.
Edge Profile
Edge combines Perf, Stick, and Carry to show how valuable a player is right now. With a Perf of 91, Stick of 117, and Carry of 95, Daniel Espino sits in the 63rd percentile, 89th percentile, and 65th percentile in those areas. His 98 Edge lands in the 74th percentile and ranks 94th among relief pitchers.
Stick Profile
Stick looks beyond the immediate results and estimates what should hold over a larger sample. Daniel Espino's 117 Stick suggests he is performing far below what his underlying profile supports. It also places him in the 89th percentile and ranks 73rd among relief pitchers.
Perf Profile
Perf measures season wins above replacement after allocating each team's actual wins to its players. It includes Daniel Espino's contributions to every team he played for. His 91 Perf is below average on a scale where 100 is average and 20 points is one standard deviation. It sits in the 63rd percentile and ranks 145th among relief pitchers.
Carry Profile
Carry places Perf in the context of the roster around a player and includes a bounded clutch adjustment for offense, pitching, and defense when available. Close games and later innings earn more weight, and difficult defensive plays receive their own credit. His clutch runs are offense +0.0, pitching -0.1, defense +0.0. The strongest rated teammates are Steven Kwan at 142, Parker Messick at 136, and Chase DeLauter at 119. Daniel Espino has contributed about as much as his own Perf suggests, resulting in a Carry of 95.
LI Profile
LI looks at how much useful baseball a player may still have ahead of him. At age 25, Daniel Espino carries a 99 LI, which points to a steady near-term outlook without a major longevity advantage. That places him in the 10th percentile and ranks 2388th among relief pitchers.
CE Profile
CE compares expected production with the money and years attached to a contract. The model uses a 6 seasons control horizon, $0.3 million average annual value, and about $0.3 million in contract-scenario costs for Daniel Espino. Options and arbitration can make those years or costs conditional; manual contract inputs may lag new agreements. His 107 CE leans in the club's favor, placing him in the 72nd percentile and 786th among relief pitchers.
NTV Profile
NTV estimates Daniel Espino's value on a neutral trade market before the needs of a specific club are considered. His +17* NTV reflects his present ability, expected future value, age, contract, control, positional demand, and risk. That mark sits in the 86th percentile and ranks 94th among relief pitchers. Daniel Espino carries clear positive value and should return a useful major league piece or prospect package.
