Scouting Report
The first thing that will jump out when looking at Jostin Florentino is how excellent his numbers were last year. During his time at Myrtle Beach, the right-handed pitcher recorded a sub-2.00 ERA in around 50 innings, with a 26.9% strikeout rate and an 8% walk rate. Numbers like this generally get you ranked higher on these kinds of lists, so if there are some alarm bells going off, they're telling you something true.
The reason why he's this low is that the stuff just isn't special. Florentino sits 88-91, according to Baseball America, and tops out at 92 mph, so while the numbers are great, there's a fair bit of skepticism that he will be able to continue this moving forward. A lot of that would change if he could add three or four ticks on his fastball, but that's a pretty tall order for a 20-year-old. If you're thinking that perhaps his shape will save him, according to that same BA scouting report, the shape of his fastball is below average.
What does stand out, however, is his slider. Baseball America called it one of the best of its kind in the entirety of the minors.
Much like Reid, you hope that there's some projection left. Unlike Reid, Florentino's body doesn't suggest a lot of additional velocity, but never say never, as he added 5 mph between 2024 and 2025. When you have as much success as he had last year, there's hope that he's more than the sum of his parts.
