From that list, sophomores Thomas and Flores are ranked within the top 150, according to MLB.com, with Thomas coming in at No. 58 and Flores at No. 115. This comes as no surprise, as the duo proved themselves as some of Texas' best hitters this season, each scoring in all 60 games they appeared in. The pair received their share of honors as well, being named All-Big 12 and All-Region First Team selections.
On the other hand, Flores outnumbered his teammates in doubles, hitting 22 on the season, and home runs, co-leading alongside fellow sophomorewith 18. Flores would also become known as the "grand slam man," after recording three throughout the season, totaling 56 RBI.
