SCOUT REPORT

Flukey finished a strong sophomore season by dueling No. 3 overall pick Kade Anderson in the opening game of the 2025 College World Series finals, taking a 1-0 loss despite striking out nine in six innings. Few college pitchers can get swings and misses with a fastball and chases with a curveball better than he can, which will make him one of the first arms selected and the highest-drafted Coastal Carolina product ever this July. Diagnosed with a rib stress fracture after his first start in 2026, he missed two months but returned with his usual stuff in late April. Flukey maintains mid-90s velocity on his heater deep into games and tops out at 98 mph with armside run and carry. His high three-quarters arm slot allows him to stay on top of his upper-70s curveball, which has so much downer break that it can be hard to keep it in the strike zone, and his feel for spin also extends to a solid 82-85 mph slider. Though both breaking balls were quite effective in college, some scouts question how well they'll play against more advanced hitters. His mid-80s changeup lags behind the rest of his repertoire, though its fade makes it tough to hit when he throws it close to the plate. Because the 6-foot-6 Flukey has a longer arm path and higher release point than normal, it's easier for hitters to see his pitches -- but not to hit them. Despite his size, he has no difficulty repeating his delivery and providing strikes. He could add more strength to his lanky frame, which might mean more power for his already nasty stuff.
