There is athleticism w projection left in Flickinger's 6-foot, 180 pound frame. He creates quality hip-to-shoulder w a long, loose arm following to a 3/4 slot w easy intent throughout. His 4S fastball worked at 87-88 w abv avg carry 16.4" avg & he showed true sinker properties on a 2S at 85-86. The slider has short bullet shape with tight spin (2438 avg rmp) at 79-81 w an upper-70s, sinking change being his best OS pitch at the moment. Strength gains will pay dividends here along w adding some shape to the breaking ball, and he commands the baseball at an average clip.
