Randy Alan Flores (born July 31, 1975) is an American director of scouting for the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB), a sports commentator, entrepreneur, coach, and former professional baseball relief pitcher.
While playing college baseball for the Trojans of the University of Southern California, Flores was the 1995 Co-Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year. The New York Yankees selected him in the ninth round of the 1997 amateur draft, and played eight seasons in MLB primarily as left-handed specialist. After making his MLB debut for the Texas Rangers in 2002, Flores also pitched for the Cardinals, with whom he won a World Series championship in 2006, the Colorado Rockies and Minnesota Twins.
After his playing career, Flores became an on-air analyst for ESPN and the Pac-12 Network. He also coached for USC and started his own company, OnDeckDigital, whose product allows players and scouts to evaluate game play. In September 2015, he became the director of scouting for the Cardinals.
