Team USA will then compete in the World Baseball Softball Confederation U-18 World Cup against South Africa on Aug. 30 in Gijang, South Korea.

The slot value for Flowers 124th overall selection in the draft was $460,000. But Flowers was drafted as a pitcher by the Pirates and he was exceptional on the mound in college. In 23 appearances and 26.2 innings pitched, Flowers had 13 saves as the Seminoles reached the College World Series. In all, 18 players with ties to the area were taken in the MLB draft. Only three of those 18 players remain unsigned.
