Antoni Flores

Flores teased us with a dominant 13-game run in the Dominican Summer League, but lower-body injuries limited him to two games in the Gulf Coast League, so he is still something of a mystery man. He has plenty of pedigree, garnering a $1.4 million signing bonus out of Venezuela on July 2, 2017. While his 57-PA sample in the DSL should not carry a ton of weight, it was obviously impressive enough for Boston to promote him to a more challenging level. His batted-ball profile was essentially perfect and he had more walks (eight) than strikeouts (seven), so we are still waiting for him to display some weaknesses at the plate. At the time of his signing he was listed at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds, but quickly filled out, and is now listed at 190 pounds. His offensive ceiling is much more significant with that added muscle. Flores is not much of a threat on the bases, so his bat will drive his fantasy value. He could reach Low-A before the end of his age-18 season.
