## Resource

Daniel Espino’s big league debut isn’t just a milestone—it’s a triumph over injury, grief, and doubt. Drafted first-round in 2019, he spent over 1,200 days sidelined by shoulder surgeries and the loss of his father, yet kept grinding. Now, in Triple-A, he’s dominating with a 100 mph fastball and a nasty breaking ball, striking out 29 in just 18.2 innings. The Guardians are ready to unleash him as a high-leverage strikeout specialist—whether as an opener, multi-inning reliever, or late-inning weapon. With 14+ strikeouts per nine innings in the minors, Espino’s mental toughness and electric stuff make him Vogt’s go-to guy when the game needs a punch.
