Non-uniruled connected smooth fibers implies flat

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism of connected smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field.

Assume all fibers are connected smooth and none are uniruled. Is $f$ flat?

In particular if all fibers are abelian varieties is $f$ flat? Can the general fiber be e.g. a point and the special fiber be an elliptic curve?
