Jesus Flores :: C last edit: 09/19/07 by: Calli Not In Organization | B: R | T: R | HT: 6-1 | WT: 185 | DOB: 11/26/84
Flores is a hot young catching prospect out of the Mets Venezuelan Summer League team. His hometown is Carupano, Venezuela. After making his debut in the Mets system in 2004, Baseball America ranked Flores as the Mets 9th best prospect. The Mets lost Flores to the Washington Nationals on December 7, 2006 in the major league phase of the Rule V Draft.
Hitting
Flores has the potential to be one of the best catching prospects that the Mets have had in recent years. He has good power and has learned to take the ball to all fields. Like most young players, his plate discipline still needs some improvement.
Running
Perhaps the only flaw in Flores‘ game is his speed, although he runs fairly well for a catcher.
Defense
Defense is clearly Flores‘ best attribute. Some scouts regard him as the best defensive catcher in the Mets system. He has a very strong arm with an excellent release.
