29-Year-Old PitcherRP

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tinoco, a 29-year-old journeyman who owns a 3.70 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 80 career MLB appearances, pitched for four different organizations in 2024. The right-hander was unable to find success with the Rangers, Royals or Cubs, but dominated after the Marlins claimed him off waivers in late-July. Tinoco compiled a remarkable 2.03 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB across 26.2 innings with Miami and quickly moved into a high-leverage role, securing three saves and five holds over the final two months. The Venezuelan native attributed his newfound success to his increased usage of a slider (.097 BAA) that he revamped while pitching overseas in Japan in 2023. If Tinoco continues to throw it as his primary offering (52.3 percent pitch usage in 2024), his chances of opening 2025 as the Marlins' closer may increase. For now, he'll simply try to prove that 2024 was no fluke and compete for a high-leverage role during spring training. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year contract with the Royals in June of 2024. Traded to the Cubs in July of 2024. Waived by the Cubs in July of 2024. Claimed off waivers by the Marlins in July of 2024.
Hit with first blown save
PMiami Marlins
September 27, 2024
Tinoco was charged with a blown save in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 1.2 innings while striking out one.
ANALYSIS
Tinoco took over for Anthony Bender with one out and a man on first in the bottom of the eighth and coughed up back-to-back hits to allow two runners to come home, tying the game at 4-4. He was then able to get through the frame without sustaining any further damage before pitching a scoreless ninth. It marked the right-hander's first blown save this season after converting his previous three opportunities this month. It also marked the second time in his last five appearances that he allowed three hits and at least one run. On a positive note, Tinoco has recorded at least one strikeout in three straight outings.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
The 6-foot-4 Venezuelan righty was one of the pitchers Colorado received from Toronto in the Troy Tulowitzki deal, and it is easy to see why the Rockies found him attractive. Tinoco posted a 2.97 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 105 strikeouts in 121.1 innings as a 20-year-old at Low-A. He has a power sinker that sits in the mid-90s and an slider/changeup combo that should be good enough for him to make it as a starter. In fact, it is a pitch mix that could allow him to be better than average in Coors Field, as he should be able to generate a good number of groundballs. Even if he were forced to move to the bullpen down the road, his sinker could play up in short bursts to the point that he could handle high-leverage situations, so his floor is likely that of a setup man.
