His career field goal percentage (89.7-percent) ranks second in NFL history among qualifying kickers (100 field goals made).
In 2025, Piñeiro signed with the 49ers as a free agent and went on to appear in 14 games where he connected on 28 of his 29 field goal attempts (96.6-percent) and 34 of his 38 extra point attempts (89.5-percent). His 96.6 field goal percentage marked the second-highest single season field goal percentage in franchise history. Piñeiro connected on each of his first 25 field goal attempts with the team, the most consecutive field goals made by a kicker to begin their first season with the 49ers. He also appeared in two postseason contests where he connected on all three of his field goal attempts (100.0-percent) and two of his three extra point attempts (66.7-percent).
