Biographical Information

Infielder Jose David Flores was drafted in the 38th round of the 1990 amateur draft by the Houston Astros. He played in the Astros' minor league organization from 1990 to 1994, reaching AA that last season with the Jackson Generals of the Texas League. His best season was in 1992, his second for the Asheville Tourists of the South Atlantic League, when he hit .267 in 121 games, with 54 runs and 47 RBIs. He set the Osceola Astros hitting streak record in May 1993 (Brian Hunter had held the mark previously). That year, he led the Florida State League's shortstops with 117 double plays.

Flores was manager of the 2008 DSL Indians and guided the Puerto Rican national team in the 2011 Pan American Games (7th place) and 2011 Baseball World Cup (tied for 9th). He has also coached for the Manati Atenienses, San Juan Senadores, Bayamon Vaqueros (2002-2005), Caguas Criollos (2008-2010) and Ponce Leones (2010- ). He was interim manager for both Ponce and Caguas. He has also managed in the FBPR, a Puerto Rican basketball league, winning a title.

As of 2014, Flores was the Minor League Infield Coordinator for the Chicago Cubs. In 2019, he was named third base coach of the Baltimore Orioles, staying until the end of the 2020 season. Flores became bench coach of the Worcester Red Sox in 2022-2024.

Flores was often confused with namesake Jose Flores, a former major leaguer who had been a coach with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018 and as a result started using his middle name.
