Gelles has quite the resume and got her start with the Pirates in 2009 with an internship in the Baseball Operations Department under then GM Neal Huntington, she went on to take internships in MLB’s Labor Relations Department in 2010 and then with the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, where she would eventually work her way from Coordinator to Director of Analytics and Major League Contracts through the end of the 2018 season when she left to take a position as Program Manager with the Houston Astros.
