Bedrosian attended East Coweta High School in Sharpsburg, Georgia. He was named an All-American.[1][2] He committed to attend Louisiana State University (LSU) on a baseball scholarship to play for the LSU Tigers.[3]
The Angels selected Bedrosian in the first round of the 2010 MLB Draft.[4] He signed with the Angels, receiving a $1.116 million signing bonus.[5] He made his professional debut that year with the Arizona Angels of the Rookie-level Arizona League.
