In 2008, he was named The Oklahoman's all-state player of the year.[1] After graduating, Flynn enrolled at Wichita State University, where he played college baseball for the Wichita State Shockers.[2] The Detroit Tigers selected Flynn in the seventh round of the 2011 MLB Draft.[3] He signed with the Tigers, beginning his professional career.[4]
