Who is Willis 'Flinch' Dobbs from Hidden Talents and what is their importance?

At first glance, Willis Flinch appears to be jumpy and unpredictable. Martin finds Flinch to be extremely distracting until one day he sees him at an arcade and realizes that Flinch is anticipating the movement of a ball while playing pinball. This causes Martin to begin researching psychic abilities and helps him put a name to what Flinch is doing. Flinch is precognizant.... he knows the future seconds before it happens. This allows Flinch to move out of the way long before something hits him or a spill can land on him.
