Early life

After high school he attended Harvard University, earning a degree in environmental science and public policy. While at Harvard he played four years of junior varsity baseball and covered men's hockey for the Harvard Crimson.

Journalism career

Prior to joining MLB Network, Morosi was a columnist and national baseball writer for FOXSports.com, beginning in 2009. He was hired in part due to incumbent FOX Sports baseball writer Ken Rosenthal's recommendation, whom he met four years earlier at the 2005 MLB general managers' meeting.
Previously, Morosi was a beat writer for the Detroit Free Press, covering the Tigers from 2006 to 2009. Morosi came to the Free Press after serving as a backup beat writer for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer during the Seattle Mariners' 2005 season. He also spent time at the Boston Globe and Houston Chronicle, among others.
Morosi has a passion for international baseball and the World Baseball Classic in particular. MLB Network, the exclusive rights-holder to the WBC, devoted segments in 2017 to what it termed "J.P. Morosi's International Pastime."
