After college, Cristian worked for the Arizona Diamondbacks as a Baseball Ops Intern. He goes into detail about his experience working with an organization and how he was able to work with many different departments to learn the overall process.

After working the Diamondbacks, Cristian got a job with the Commissioner’s office as a Fellow working with International Baseball Operations.  Cristian talks about the overall interview process and how in-depth it really can be. He explains the Commissioner’s office isn’t exactly about how much you know but how well you can fit in the overall organization.
