A former catcher in the Los Angeles Angels organization, Rosenbaum played three professional seasons before transitioning into scouting. Originally from Castleton, New York, he began his collegiate career at the University of Rochester before transferring to The University of Tampa. As a catcher for the Spartans, he played a key role in back-to-back National Championships in 2006 and 2007 and was recognized as a First-Team Academic All-American. He earned both his Bachelor’s degree in Finance and an MBA from UT.

Eamon Horwedel was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and graduated from Skyline High School in 2018 after being a four-year varsity baseball member. He was also named to the MHSBCA All-Star game during his senior year. After high school, he attended Ohio University for four years (2018–2022), where he pitched for the Bobcats while earning a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. With two years of eligibility remaining, he graduate-transferred to the University of Michigan, where he pitched for another two years (2022–2024) while earning a master’s degree in social work with a focus on management and leadership.

In between college seasons, Eamon played in the Northwoods League for the Kalamazoo Growlers for five seasons, spanning from 2019 to 2024. During his time in Kalamazoo, he was a three-time captain, two-time All-Star, two-time postseason All-Star, and two-time Northwoods League champion. He currently holds several records, including the Northwoods League all-time wins record. In August 2024, he became the second player to be inducted into the Kalamazoo Growlers Hall of Fame. By the end of his playing career, he had totaled over 350 collegiate innings pitched across more than 130 games.

Eamon is extremely passionate about the game of baseball. When he was playing, all he ever wanted to do was compete. Now that he is retired from playing, his greatest desire is to instill the same passion and love for the game into others through coaching.

Eamon’s passions outside of baseball include golfing, rock climbing, birding, photography, watching movies, and doing trivia.
