Rohrmeier attended St. Thomas University,and in 1986 he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League. [1] He was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 5th round of the 1987 Major League Baseball Draft.
In his first professional season,he batted .329 as a third baseman for the High-A Peninsula White Sox.

Late in the 1994 season,while still playing for the Chicks under manager Ron Johnson,Rohrmeier was approaching Johnson's own single-season Southern League record for doubles. Rohrmeier was released on August 10 by the Royals because,according to the club,he had a physical and verbal altercation with Johnson stemming from his argument with an umpire. According to what The Cincinnati Post called "[o]thers in the Southern League," however,Rohrmeier was let go because he was closing in on Johnson's record. [2] After making some calls,Rohrmeier was offered a roster spot with the Cincinnati Reds' Southern League affiliate within 24 hours of his release. [3] He would end up setting a new Southern League single-season doubles record with 41. [2]
