Before arriving at Manhattan in 2022, Rosen served as the Director of Player Development for the Alabama Crimson Tide, including having daily responsibilities assisting pitching coach Jason Jackson.

"We are excited to have Coach Steven Rosen take over our baseball program that carries a proud tradition and will continue to improve under leadership," Garcia said. "I enjoy watching Coach Rosen bring his energy, passion and expertise to Manhattan baseball and look forward to working with the coach in continuing to bring excellent student-athletes to our baseball program."
"I am incredibly proud and honored to represent Manhattan College as the head baseball coach," Rosen said. "I want to extend my deepest gratitude to President Riverso and our athletics director, Irma Garcia, for their support and confidence in me. I would also like to thank my family for their constant belief and encouragement. I am excited to lead our team and continue the tradition of excellence at Manhattan College."
