Fliflet has had an outstanding start to the 2026 campaign, his first season in a starting role for Minnesota Crookston. He is batting .538, with 12 runs scored, three doubles, four home runs, and 10 RBI. Fliflet has a 1.733 OPS, a 1.115 slugging percentage, and a .618 on-base percentage. Defensively, Fliflet has a .973 fielding percentage, with two runners caught stealing, seven assists, and 65 putouts.
