Flande signed with the Philadelphia Phillies in December 2004 after being scouted by Sal Agostinelli and Wilfredo Tejada. Yohan began his professional career with the DSL Phillies, going 3-6 with a save and a 2.76 ERA - the stats are somewhat deceptive as he allowed a fair number of hits and runs, but over half his runs were unearned. With the same club, he improved to 6-1, 2.08 in 2006, with a 5:1 K:BB ratio. He fell to 3-2, 2.36 in his third season with the DSL Phils.
In 2008, Yohan came stateside with the GCL Phillies, going 4-1 with a 2.19 ERA and a WHIP under one. He led the Gulf Coast League with a .200 opponent average and was third in ERA behind Nelson Pereira and Tyler Cox.
Flande split 2009 between the Clearwater Threshers (7-1, 2.52) and Reading Phillies (4-4, 4.58). He pitched for the World in the 2009 Futures Game, relieving Neftali Feliz in the second inning. He struck out Pedro Alvarez then got Chris Heisey on a grounder. Tyler Flowers and Jason Heyward both singled but Flande then struck out Danny Espinosa. Francisco Samuel relieved Yohan.
After 13 starts with Reading in 2010, Flande is 4-5 with a 4.35 ERA.
