Florial has tools galore and is a potential five-tool player with the amount of bat speed, strength projection, and athleticism that he brings to the table. His ability to make loud contact is exactly what you’re looking for in a potential all-star. Florial does have his weaknesses adjusting to pitches in the zone at times, but he’s still real young and flashes enough bat control and spray ability to project that these areas will improve as he gains experience. Florial is a rare breed because of his hit, power and speed capabilities, which makes him a potential first-division starter as he continues to progress.
