Rosso was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to a Spanish father and a Dominican mother. He moved to Spain, pitching for CB Barcelona of the División de Honor de Béisbol. At 19, Rosso was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers for a signing bonus of $62,000. He was released by the Dodgers a year later and never pitched in a minor league game for the organization.[1][2]

Rosso was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies, who had offered him a contract previously before signing with the Dodgers, in January 2017.[1] He debuted for the Dominican Summer League Phillies, pitching to a 6–1 win-loss record with a 0.74 earned run average (ERA) in nine starts and earning a promotion to the Gulf Coast League Phillies.[3] After striking out 13 batters with one earned run in nine innings pitched, Rosso was again promoted and finished the season with the Williamsport Crosscutters of the New York–Penn League.[2] He posted a 1–0 record with a 3.00 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 18 innings pitched with Williamsport.[4] Rosso began the 2018 season with the Lakewood Blue Claws of the South Atlantic League, where he went 5–1 with a 1.33 ERA and 81 strikeouts in 12 starts and was named a league All-Star before being promoted to the Clearwater Threshers of the Florida State League. He pitched in 11 games with 10 starts for Clearwater and went 6–2 with a 2.91 ERA.[5] Rosso began 2019 with the Reading Phillies of the AA Eastern League, where he had a 3–2 record with a 3.15 ERA in ten starts before earning a promotion to the AAA Lehigh Valley IronPigs.[6] He finished the season with Lehigh Valley and went 2–4 with a 5.50 ERA and 64 strikeouts.[7] Rosso was invited to Spring Training by the Phillies in 2020.[8][9] On July 24, 2020, he made his MLB debut.
