Espinoza combines pure athletic projection and advanced feel, all while at the age of a current high school senior. He shows the characteristics of a starter, with distinct routines and a slow heartbeat, and projects remarkable poise, remaining unfazed by performance adversity and the twists and turns of a game. The floor for the command looks to be average, and he already demonstrates an advanced feel for pitching, along with the ability to make adjustments between and during starts. He also has a plus glove/range and can hold runners. It's an unmatched combination of repertoire and athleticism at age and level, with an elite fastball and both secondaries projecting to plus or better with experience and reps. This is a front-line, first-division starter future with makeup to complement the pure projection; he shows everything you want to see in an elite pitching prospect at a remarkably young age.
