The 6-foot-3, 180-pound right-hander reached up to 2,721 RPM on his slider at 70-73 mph, pairing off his 83-84 mph fastball (T2346 RPM) with up to 18 inches of horizontal movement. He also showed the ability to spin his changeup at a high-level, reaching up to 2,514 RPM with heavy running action at 78-79 mph. His delivery is athletic and flexible, moving with a high leg-kick into balance point before transitioning into a drop/drive lower-half, creating above-average hip/shoulder separation at footstrike. With the high-level spin Tinajero possesses paired with his athleticism on the mound, it would be no surprise to see some velocity jumps in the coming years.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 6-3, 180-pounds. Athletic build, high waist with room for added strength throughout.
Delivery: Athletic delivery, controlled tempo, coils into a medium balance point, drops into back knee before striding down the mound, remains in-line with the plate.
Arm Action: RH. Long/loose arm swing into a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T84.6, 83-84 mph. Plays with heavy sinking action through the zone. T2346, 2298 average rpm.
SL: 70-73 mph. Tight 10/4 break, thrown mostly to the glove-side. T2722, 2614 average rpm.
CH: 76-79 mph. Thrown with intent and deceptive arm-speed, fades late to the arm-side at times. T2515, 2154 average rpm.
Hit: RHH. Wide setup, smooth load and heel raise stride. Quiet overall swing, stays inside the baseball at times, uses the whole field.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 73.8 mph. 228’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 78 mph. Short arm action, 3/4 slot.
Defense: Steady defender, clean hands, deliberate glove-to-hand exchange.
Run: 7.96 runner in the 60.
