Jesse (Sandoval) Flores (November 2, 1914 - December 17, 1991) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. The 5'10", 175 lb. right-hander was a native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He was signed by the Chicago Cubs as an amateur free agent before the 1938 season, and he played for the Cubs (1942), Philadelphia Athletics (1943-1947), and Cleveland Indians (1950). Jesse Flores was the first native Mexican to pitch in the big leagues, in 1942, and spent seven years pitching for the Cubs and Philadelphia A's and Indians. Later on, as a Major League Baseball scout, Flores signed Bert Blyleven, Lyman Bostock, Rick Dempsey and Reggie Smith.
