School: Texas
Age At Draft: 21.4
Flores established himself as a key piece of the Longhorns’ pitching staff as a freshman, pitching to a 2.70 ERA with 27 strikeouts to 10 walks across 32.1 innings. An undersized, physical righthander, Flores features a slightly abbreviated arm stroke and attacks from a low three-quarters slot. His fastball has been up to 98 mph with plenty of run and sink. Flores’ mid-to-upper-80s cut-slider hybrid flashes short, effective gloveside movement. He rounds out his arsenal with a seldom-used upper-70s-to-low-80s changeup, and his control is above average. -

Flores is a big and physical 6-foot-2, 210-pound Texas righthander who posted consistently throughout the 2023 showcase circuit and travel ball season. He was also one of the more heavily scouted arms at Perfect Game’s Jupiter tournament—an event where many top arms have already shut down for the year—and pairs a low-90s fastball that has been up to 96 with a slurvy breaking ball in the 78-81 mph range. He has also thrown an occasional 85-87 mph cutter and will mix in a low-80s changeup with soft fading action to lefties. Flores has heavily relied on his fastball and does a nice job attacking the zone with the pitch. He will utilize distinct four- and two-seam variations with solid control of both. His secondary feel needs to improve, but he looks like a workhorse arm who will only throw harder in the near future. Flores is committed to Texas.
