"Flewelling was born in Red Deer, Alberta, a city that lies between the provinces' two big cities: Calgary and Edmonton. Alberta has produced some notable prospects over the past few seasons, including Blue Jay prospects Damiano Palmegiani, Adam Macko, and Tim Piasentin. Ahead of the 2024 draft, Flewelling ranked as MLB Pipeline's 236-best draft prospect . The Rays came calling in the third round, drafted the then 17-year-old. Up to this point, no prep-drafted position player from Alberta has gone on to make the big leagues."
"It's not uncommon for recently drafted high school players to make their professional debut the following season, and that's the case for Flewelling as well. The catcher began his season with the Rays' Single-A team, slashing .229/.393/.336 with six home runs in 439 plate appearances. Flewelling had a fantastic 20.3 BB%, but there was some swing and miss in his game, finishing his Single-A stint with a 27.6 K%."
Nathan Flewelling is a catcher from Red Deer, Alberta, selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the third round of the 2024 draft at age 17. He made his professional debut in 2025 with the Rays' Single-A team and received a brief late-season promotion. Across 439 plate appearances at Single-A he posted a .229/.393/.336 line with six home runs, a 20.3% walk rate and a 27.6% strikeout rate. In five games after promotion he slashed .250/.409/.438 with five walks. MLB Pipeline ranked him the Rays' 29th-best prospect, projecting a hit-over-power profile with more development on offense than defense and projection remaining in his frame.
