Eve Rosenbaum is enjoying a homecoming of sorts with the Baltimore Orioles.
Rosenbaum, a Bethesda, Md., native and a Harvard graduate, was recently named the club’s new director of baseball development by general manager Mike Elias. Rosenbaum will oversee the alignment of strategies across baseball operations and enhance coordination between the club’s scouting, player development and analytics departments.
“It’s very exciting. For me personally, I grew up going to Orioles games,” said Rosenbaum, who also played four years of softball at Harvard. “I grew up 45 minutes to an hour from Baltimore. I lived through the Cal Ripken days and the years in the 1990s when the Orioles were going to the playoffs. For me to try and bring that back to Baltimore and bring that back to the team I grew up watching is just a cool, humbling feeling to actually be driving this team forward. You see the results on the field and you know whether or not it’s working.”
Rosenbaum joins the Orioles from Houston, where she spent the previous five seasons. During her time with the Astros, she helped head up the club’s international baseball operations and most recently was the manager of international scouting. She first crossed paths with Mike Elias, assistant general manager Sig Mejdal and director of pitching Chris Holt in Houston, so it’s been almost a seamless transition in Baltimore.
