The Colorado Rockies announced the rent from Ian Levin Monday afternoon as assistant general manager under Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes.
Levin spent nearly two decades of his professional career with the New York Mets organization. He first joined the Mets in 2005 as a media relations intern and later as a baseball operations intern. From there he took on various roles including scouting, player development and organizational strategies. Levin was appointed assistant general manager in 2021 and left the Mets organization at the end of the 2024 season.
After leaving the Mets, Levin founded OneOne Sports, a company that helps collegiate programs with leadership hiring, infrastructure design, player evaluation and roster strategy.
His appointment reunites Levin with president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta. The two worked together with the Mets under Sandy Alderson from 2010-2015. Levin is the second former Mets executive hired by the Rockies’ new front office. He joins Tommy Tanous, who was hired last week as assistant general manager.
“Ian has a proven track record of strategic leadership, key decision-making and innovative player performance initiatives,” DePodesta said via press release.
“With extensive experience in major league operations, research and development, player development and amateur scouting, Ian will strengthen every part of our operation. We couldn’t be more excited to bring him to the Rockies.”
This is a developing story and Purple Row will provide updates as they become available.
