Houston Astros executive Randy Flores, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, says the grind of his playing career will inform his work as a general manager. Flores, who spent parts of nine seasons in the majors, believes the daily preparation and adversity he faced on the field translate directly to the decision-making and resilience required in a front-office role.
Flores joined the Astros' baseball operations department after retiring and has risen through the ranks. He emphasizes that the perspective gained from years in the clubhouse helps him evaluate talent and manage relationships with players and staff.
