2. RHP Daniel Espino

Espino will pitch in Double-A as a 21-year-old next season, so it will be interesting to see how his stuff translates to another higher level. With four pitches (a fastball that sits at 96 mph, curveball, slider and changeup), he’s got true swing-and-miss stuff; he struck out 152 batters last season in 91 2/3 innings. Right now he’s being developed as a starter, so there will be plenty of time for him to refine his control.
