Eddie
Flores

Flores is a 5-foot-8, 170-pound 3B/RHP from Nitro HS. He led Nitro in home runs as a sophomore in 2016.

4/11/15 Flores pitched in relief of Bradley. Flores’ fastball sat 81-83 mph, and his 71-73 mph curveball is solid with sharp 11/5 action. Flores allowed one hit and struck out two in his one inning of work.

3/30/15 Flores displayed solid two-way abilities with a 2-for-3 day at the plate. The right-handed hitter laced an RBI double off the left field wall in his 2nd at bat after staying inside an 82 mph fastball to single to left in his first AB. The 5-foot-8, 195-pound uncommitted junior took the mound in the 7th and sat 83-84 with a biting 73 mph curveball, recoding all three outs by strikeout. 

8/10/14 Flores earned MVP honors for the Red Team following an impressive showing on the mound and a 2-for-5 showing at the plate over two days. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound junior displayed an 81 mph arm across the diamond and a 91 mph bat exit velocity. The right-handed hitter showcased loose hands and a strong lower half from a square stance in barreling the baseball routinely during batting practice. Flores creates significant barrel whip and the ball jumps off his bat regularly. The righty worked three innings on the mound over two days displaying command of three pitches with repeatable mechanics. Flores sat 83-85 with his four seam fastball and has a hard biting 76 mph curveball in his arsenal that at times buckled hitters.
