Early life Jon Paul Morosi was born in Marquette, Michigan, and attended Garber High School in Essexville, Michigan, where he was a three-sport athlete and co-editor of the student newspaper. 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.

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.

On December 8, 2023, Morosi was the subject of criticism when he claimed that then free agent two-way player, Shohei Ohtani was on a private jet going from Anaheim to Toronto, where he would talk to and possibly sign with the Toronto Blue Jays. This speculation coincided with a post on “X” (formerly Twitter) that went viral earlier in the day of a private jet taking off from Santa Ana, destined for Toronto Pearson International Airport. As it was later found out, the flight was unrelated. It was confirmed that Ohtani was not traveling to Toronto and that he was still residing in Anaheim. On the following day, Ohtani would announce that he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In June 2024, Morosi began hosting The Road to Cooperstown, the official podcast of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, where he interviews Hall of Famers about their lives and careers.
