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. In both 1988 and 1989, he batted .259 and was sent as part of a conditional deal to the Texas Rangers. While in the Rangers organization, he played three seasons for Double-A Tulsa. Despite having reasonable success, he was released by the Rangers in 1992.

On February 23, 1992, Rohrmeier signed with the Kansas City Royals. After batting .323 for Double-A Memphis in 1992, he played in their organization until his release on August 10, 1994. Two days later, he signed with the Cincinnati Reds. Playing in their minor leagues through 1995 and the Padres minor leagues in 1996, he signed with the Seattle Mariners on December 12, 1996. Rohrmeier had a career year in 1997 with Triple-A Tacoma. He batted .297 with 33 home runs and 120 RBI and earned a September promotion to the majors, going 3 for 9. In 1998, he again played for Triple-A Tacoma and again had a strong season, batting .286 with 25 home runs and 104 RBI.

In 1999, Rohrmeier signed with the Hanwha Eagles, a team in South Korea's KBO League. He and fellow American import Jay Davis, as well as Koreans Song Ji-man and Chang Jong-hoon, led the Eagles to the 1999 Korean Series championship; the team had a slugging percentage of .487, the highest team total in KBO League history.[2] Rohrmeier contributed with 45 home runs and 109 RBI to go with a slash line of .292/.388/.643.

He played two seasons for the Eagles, then one season for the LG Twins, before retiring after the 2001 season.
