Meade is from Kansas City, Missouri and went to school at Missouri State University. Meade was drafted by the New York Yankees in 28th Round of the 2009 MLB Draft, but did not sign and chose to go back and play baseball at Missouri State for a year, and in the 2010 MLB Draft the Angels drafted him in the 10th Round. In March 2013, Meade was cut from the Inland Empire 66ers, even though there were talks of him being promoted to the AA Arkansas Travelers.

Minor League Career
In June of 2009, Aaron Meade was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 28th Round of the 2009 MLB Draft, but did not sign, and chose to go back and play for the Missouri State Bears for one more season. In June of 2010, Meade got drafted much earlier, in the 10th round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels sent him to the AZL Angels (Arizona League Angels) for a very short period, but then moved him to the rookie league Orem Owlz. He played for the Owlz for the end of the 2010 season, and all of the 2011 season, before he was promoted to the Single A Cedar Rapids Kernals before the 2012 Season. He played with the Kernals for most of the season, but towards the end of the season, Meade was promoted up to the Advanced A Inland Empire 66ers. However, Meade didn't perform as well with the 66ers as he had with his previous teams though. Aaron was attended the Angels 2013 Spring Training in Tempe, Arizona, but shortly after training was over, the Angels traded for 2 new left-handed pitchers, and Meade got cut.

Kansas City T-Bones
In April of 2013, Meade had talks with the Kansas City T-Bones, and will officially sign with the team on April 8th, 2013. Aaron plans to play with the T-Bones for a season, while searching for a major league team who will let him into their farm system. The Kansas City T-Bones are near his hometown, so he is happy that he got on the T-Bones rather than another independent baseball team.

Personal
Aaron lives in Kansas City, Missouri and is a Christian. Aaron is dating a person named Sierra, who he has known since middle school, but have been dating since November of 2011. Also coincidently, Aaron Meade is friends with Jeff Kelso, son of Bill Kelso, former California Angels, player. Also Jeff Kelso used to be in the Angels' minor league system, but while in AAA ball, Jeff had heart problems, which forced him to quit baseball.
