Thad Levine’s career has taken him from the mound at Roy Randall Diamond on the campus of Haverford College to one of the top seats in the business of Major League Baseball.

Levine was recently hired as the senior vice president and general manager of the Minnesota Twins, according to a report in the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press by Mike Berardino.

“I’m thrilled to add Thad Levine to the Twins’ baseball operations leadership team,” said Derek Falvey, Chief Baseball Officer for the Twins. “I couldn’t envision a better partner to help return championship-caliber baseball to Minnesota.

“Thad’s leadership and management experiences across all facets of baseball operations make him the perfect fit for the role, and I’m looking forward to executing our vision together.”

Levine, who grew up in Alexandria, Va., arrived as the Twins’ G.M. after serving as assistant general manager of the Texas Rangers for the last decade and a business leader in the clubhouses of the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers before that. He graduated from Haverford College in 1994 following four years as a Fords pitcher and first baseman.
