The Houston Astros have a stable of stud pitchers at their disposal, and each of them has gained respect and notoriety for their work. How did they get to Houston? Meet the man who responsible for that.One man's work behind the scenes is front and center for the Astros this postseason.
For the better part of a decade, Ocampo worked as an Astros international crosschecker, which is a key role in the team's scouting department. Ocampo had a significant part in finding and signing pitchers Luis Garcia, Jose Urquidy, Bryan Abreu, World Series Game 2 winner Framber Valdez, and World Series Game 4 starter Christian Javier.
And part of that puzzle is the mental side of the game, believing these players will be able to perform on baseball's biggest stage, and having these players - along with their families - trust the Astros to set them up for success. Ocampo, who speaks multiple languages, admits he remembers the players of whom he missed more than the big hits like Framber and Javier, but he still recalls those early days, too.
