Theo Bartolomeo is entering his second year with the Charleston Golden Eagles. He primarily works with the infielders and hitters, as well as assists with recruiting, formulating scouting reports, and summer ball placement.
Last year, the Golden Eagle hitters achieved incredible success. Notably, the Golden Eagles set school and conference records in runs scored, runs batted in, stolen bases, extra base hits, and home runs. The Golden Eagles finished with MEC regular season and tournament championships, and an appearance in the Millersville NCAA Atlantic Regional.
Bartolomeo came to Charleston after spending four years at Division I mid-major Central Michigan. He worked in various capacities for the Chippewas, beginning as a student manager in 2018-2019 and ascending to Director of Baseball Operations by 2021-2022. There, he was responsible for managing the behind-the-scenes operations of the program, such as assisting the coaches with practice planning and execution, equipment, travel logistics, small group sessions and scouting reports. Bartolomeo also played key roles in developing the student manager program and data analytics team at Central Michigan.
During his four years at Central Michigan, the Chippewas won two MAC regular season championships, two MAC conference championships, and appeared in three NCAA Regionals. The Chippewas won 40 games or more in the three full seasons that were played when Bartolomeo was on staff, and each regional team won at least one game in the NCAA Tournament, including making it to the Regional Finals against Notre Dame in 2021. The Central Michigan program saw 8 Chippewas move on to affiliated professional baseball from 2019 to 2022.
In previous summers, Bartolomeo has ventured out to the Cape Cod Baseball League in Massachusetts. In 2021, he served as a scouting/general manager intern for the Bourne Braves, who made it to the league championship series that year. In 2022, Bartolomeo served as an assistant coach for the Wareham Gatemen. For both teams, Bartolomeo was responsible for generating scouting reports, assisted with coaching the hitters, and assisted with player acquisitions. In his two years on the Cape, Bartolomeo has worked with a total of 46 MLB draft picks.
Bartolomeo hails from White Bear Lake, Minnesota. He graduated Central Michigan University in 2022 with his undergrad in Sport Management and is currently pursuing his Master’s in Strategic Leadership from Charleston.
