Scouting Report

5/27/25

Second Look : I caught Flores in a big matchup with Crown Point. The velocity was a touch firmer in this look, the fastball sat 95-97 mph the first two innings, before settling in at 94-96 his last three innings of work. The curveball was 85-87 mph with 12/6 shape and sharp bite. He landed it a handful of times and buried it for a couple swings-and-misses. Flores went to his 87-89 mph slider and 85-87 mph changeup a fair amount. The slider showed sharp action with some sweep and the changeup played with fade. The command was inconsistent as he walked 8 in five innings, 58% strikes. He leaned on his curveball and slider a fair amount throughout, but one of my biggest takeaways was the confidence in his mid 80s changeup. The stuff is electric and holding velocities in both looks are intriguing, our only knocks being the inconsistent command and undersized frame that leads to reliever risk.

Flores provided a loud look in his bullpen after coming off a breakout sophomore season. Athletic at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with standout body control - the Cincinnati recruit showed an electric, four-pitch arsenal. The arm action is longer and he uses his front arm as a lever to create arm speed. A dynamic mover, the delivery works in-line with a controlled violence down the slope. Flores worked his fastball at 91-93 mph, complimented by a tightly-spun, bullet slider at 82-83 mph (2778 avg spin). Flores showed a 77-81 mph curveball with downer break and 11/5 shape, while also showcasing an 82-85 mph changeup with 16.6" of horizontal break.
