Emma Rozycki, the sibling of MLB sensation Max Kepler, shares a deep-rooted passion for athletics.

Following Max's impressive 11-3 win against the New York Mets on September 11, 2026, where he achieved a 3-for-4 performance with a home run and five RBIs, he continues to shine in the MLB.

Interestingly, Emma Rozycki carved her own path as a golf prodigy before embracing baseball, mirroring her brother's athletic prowess.

Both siblings were raised in an environment that celebrated physical excellence, thanks to their parents—Kathy Kepler and Marek Rozycki—who were accomplished ballet dancers. This background instilled in them a profound appreciation for the demands of sports.

Emma attended the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin and later joined the International Baccalaureate program at Fort Myers South High School, where she excelled in golf before earning her college degree at Tallahassee Community College. She received multiple golf scholarships.

"Max and I always envisioned living in the U.S. because we were captivated by the American dream," Emma shared, reflecting on their shared aspirations.

Her support for Max's MLB career is unwavering, often seen cheering him on alongside their parents at games.

Max's birth in 1993 allowed German naming conventions that permitted dual surnames, leading to his full name, Max Kepler-Röthycki. Emma, however, adopted her father's surname, Röthycki, and later combined both family names.

"Choosing Kepler was never an issue with my dad. He encouraged me to follow my interests," Emma recalls, highlighting the supportive family dynamic.

Details about Emma remain limited as she, like Max, maintains privacy around her personal life.
