Jackson Flora - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 8th: " Everything starts with a mid-90s fastball that has been up to 100 mph and checks all of the analytical boxes that teams like. The pitch has solid riding life, a flat approach angle, high pure spin rates and is thrown with above-average extension. It should be an easy 70-grade offering, but his command and execution have meant that it doesn’t always play that way."

Prospects 1500 - July 8th: "Flora dominated D-1 hitters this season and displays an arsenal that has the ability to get both handed hitters out while also going through a lineup a third time. He looks like more of a high upside mid-rotation arm than an ace, but he will likely move quickly."

MLB -July : "Flora's combination of size and arm strength should intrigue most teams. The 6-foot-5 right-hander already offers premium velocity, with a fastball that sits in the 96-97 mph range and regularly touches triple digits, with good shape, carry and armside ride to it. He'll employ two different sliders, both of which can flash plus."

Keith Law - The Athletic - July 1st: "He’s been up to 100 and sits 94-98 with his four-seamer, but that’s his least effective pitch thanks to a 70 changeup and plus slider. The changeup is around 86-90 and looks very similar to the fastball out of his hand, with some fading action away from lefties; hitters whiffed on it close to half the time they swung this year, and it’s equally effective against hitters on both sides."
