Texas arm with big-time velo, but 2026 role wobbled
Jason Flores showed real upside at Texas, flashing a fastball that can live in the mid-to-upper 90s and even touch triple digits, which is the kind of stuff that makes scouts lean in. In the 2025 season, he was a quietly effective freshman: 2.78 ERA over 32.1 innings with a .205 opponents’ batting average, but in the 2026 season his workload shrank to 12 innings with a 6.75 ERA before he entered the transfer portal. The fit? Pure upside, especially if you want a power arm who can miss bats, but he also looks like a pitcher who still needs consistency and a clearer role.
