Flontek, a right-handed pitcher from Shelby, North Carolina, was selected by the Down East Bird Dawgs in the second round (21st overall) of the 2026 Frontier League Tryout and Draft.

He attended Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy before continuing his baseball career at NC State. After competing in club baseball during the fall of 2021, Flontek earned a spot on the Wolfpack roster as a walk-on following his freshman season and spent time with the program.

Flontek underwent Tommy John surgery in the summer of 2023 and begins his professional career with the Bird Dawgs as he works his way back on the mound.
