It’s McCormick Field, it’s 70 degrees, it’s night, with first pitch at 7:08pm, and I’m wearing sunglasses. Well Ok, I wasn’t there and it’s doubtful that Flores was wearing his thick framed shades. But researching this kid…I have to see him in-person when he does. And why not, he’s was drafted out the University of Southern California, so the swagger is there. Check Scout.com for a nice scouting report along with an action pic when he was taken in the 7th round last June. He had a nice breakout during his pro debut with the AZL Sox and Great Falls in the Pioneer League. The tall lanky lefty possesses a strong, quick arm that can reach his fastball in the upper 90’s, but best controlled in the low to mid 90’s. He posted a 60% groundball rate last season and a 7.2 K/9 rate with his swing-and-miss change-up.
