During last season’s International signings period, the Boston Red Sox got the crown jewel. Daniel Flores was a 17-year-old catcher and there was no ceiling for him. He was already working with elite-level defense. Meanwhile, the switch-hitter had a solid bat with potential for plus-power.
I wrote about him a few times in the past, and not enough nice words could be written for him. I was extremely excited to watch him grow as a player and see him mature. Some Red Sox prospects seemed to feel the same way.
Man.. Had the privilege of being around Daniel for a few weeks at instructs.
