Greany Named Carolina League's Strength & Conditioning Coach Of The Year

Longtime Coach Has Won Award Three Times
By Seth Bernstein
August 29, 2014

Wilmington, DE - The Professional Baseball Strength & Conditioning Coaches Society announced on Friday that Wilmington's Joey Greany has been named the Carolina League's Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year. Greany is in his first season with the Blue Rocks and in his seventh year with the Kansas City Royals organization. Greany has worked as high as Triple-A Omaha during his seven seasons with Kansas City.

Greany is now a three-time Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year. He first won the award in the Texas League while working with the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals during the 2011 campaign. Greany was also named the South Atlantic League's Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year in 2013 while with the Low-A Lexington Legends.

"There's many strength coaches in this field that are well-deserving of this award," Greany said. "We put in a lot of long hours and hard work in working with both position players and pitchers. It's just an honor to be voted Coach of the Year by your peers…It's just a reflection of the hard work you put in each and every day."

During the baseball offseason, Greany uses his expertise in other ways. Last year, he performed consulting work for the NYPD. Greany is also a Fitness Contributor to Dr. Oz's ShareCare.com and StackMedia.com.

The longtime coach played collegiately at Alfred State College in Alfred, New York, and at Martin Methodist College in Pulaski, Tennessee. He is a member of the Alfred State College Athletic Hall of Fame.

Greany holds a Bachelor's degree in physical education from Martin Methodist and a master's degree in exercise science from California University of Pennsylvania.

The Rocks return to action on Friday night at Frawley Stadium for the finale of their five-game series against Potomac. Wilmington will send southpaw Sean Manaea (6-8, 3.30) to the mound while Potomac will counter with right-hander Ian Dickson (5-8, 4.54). First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m. and fans can listen to the broadcast on 89.7 WGLS-FM.
