Michael
Flink

A strong, athletic frame at 6-2, 212 pounds, Flink shows clear physical projection and the potential to continue to add strength and velocity over time. His FB sat 86-87 mph, topping at 87.7 with a max spin rate of 2121 rpm and an 89% strike rate, showing consistent command in the zone. The CB (72-75 mph) flashed as a developing weapon, featuring sharp lateral break when he found his release point. His CH (74-78 mph) was arguably his most intriguing pitch, a true off-speed offering with low spin (1300-1600 rpm) and late arm-side fade, effectively tunneling off the FB with identical arm speed. Flink’s smooth, controlled delivery and full arm action contribute to his repeatability and deception. With continued refinement of his secondary command and natural velocity growth, Flink’s overall profile is highly projectable and points toward a promising future on the mound.
