Born and raised in Jefferson City, Missouri, Earleywine played college baseball as a shortstop at Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) in the 1990 season, then at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri from 1991 to 1993 before graduating with a B.S. in business administration in 1994. [2] [3]
From 1994 to 1996, Earleywine was an assistant coach at Westminster under former Major League Baseball player and University of Missouri alum Phil Bradley.

Earleywine was a member of the United States men's national softball team in the 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2003 seasons, being team captain in the last two seasons. He earned six Amateur Softball Association All-American honors and 1999 All-World honors from the International Softball Congress. [4] In the 2003 Pan American Games, Earleywine led the United States to a silver medal. [4]
Earleywine became a softball coach, beginning in 2002 as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech under Kate Madden. Earleywine became Georgia Tech head coach after two seasons as an assistant.
