Dipoto played high school baseball at Toms River High School North. He played collegiately at Virginia Commonwealth University. He was born to Gerard & Barbara Dipoto and has two siblings Marc Dipoto and Lori Dipoto-Dorsey.
Dipoto was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 3rd round of the 1989 Major League Baseball Draft.
In 1994, he was traded with Paul Byrd, Dave Mlicki and a player to be named later (minor leaguer Jesus Azuaje) to the New York Mets for Jeromy Burnitz and Joe Roa.
After the 1996 season, he was traded by the Mets to the Colorado Rockies for Armando Reynoso.
In 2003 he became a scout for the Boston Red Sox, and in 2004 was a part of the World Series winning team. In 2005 he became the head of the scouting department for the Colorado Rockies. When Josh Byrnes, who Jerry had known since his days as a Rockies player became the General Manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, he went with Josh to Arizona and became the Director of Scouting and Player Personnel.
Byrnes was fired on July 1, 2010 and Dipoto was named interim General Manager.[1] On September 22, Kevin Towers was named the new Diamondbacks General Manager. Dipoto was offered the opportunity to remain with the Diamondbacks.[2]
On October 28, 2011, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announced Dipoto would be their next general manager, replacing Tony Reagins.[3]
He and his wife, Tamie, have three children: Taylor, Jordan, and Jonah. He is also a thyroid cancer survivor, having undergone curative thyroid surgery in 1994.[4]
