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.
