A dominant pitching performance from a top MLB Draft prospect leaves opposing batters powerless to score.Pleasanton TodayJackson Flora, a right-handed pitcher and MLB Draft prospect ranked No. 14 by Pipeline, extended his scoreless streak to 33 1/3 innings with a complete game shutout for UC Santa Barbara against Cal Poly. Flora struck out 9 batters over 118 pitches, lowering his ERA to 0.69 on the season, the third-lowest in NCAA Division I.
Why it matters
Flora's dominant performance showcases his potential as a top draft pick this July, with his triple-digit fastball, plus offspeed pitches, and ability to miss bats consistently making him one of the top pitching prospects in the country. His continued success could boost his draft stock even higher ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft.
The details
Flora yielded just 3 hits and 2 walks through the first 4 innings before retiring the final 16 batters he faced. He punctuated the shutout by striking out the side in the 9th inning. On the season, Flora has a 65/15 K/BB ratio across 52 1/3 innings, allowing only 1 home run.
- On March 6, Flora allowed 2 runs in the opening frame against Long Beach State, starting his current 33 1/3 inning scoreless streak.
- On April 3, 2026, Flora tossed his second career complete game shutout in a 6-0 win over Cal Poly.
The players
Jackson Flora
A right-handed pitcher and MLB Draft prospect ranked No. 14 by Pipeline, who plays for UC Santa Barbara. Flora has a fastball that regularly hits triple digits and three plus offspeed pitches.
Tyler Bremner
A former teammate of Flora's at UC Santa Barbara, who was recently drafted in the 1st round and is currently the No. 77 prospect in MLB.
What’s next
Flora will look to continue his dominant stretch when he takes the mound again for UC Santa Barbara later this month. MLB scouts will be closely monitoring his performance as he aims to cement his status as a potential top-10 draft pick in July.
The takeaway
Jackson Flora's scoreless streak and complete game shutout performance showcase his elite stuff and ability to dominate hitters at the collegiate level. If he can maintain this level of excellence, he is poised to be one of the first pitchers selected in the 2026 MLB Draft.
