Greene Garners GCL Top Skipper Award
Sunday, October 5th , 2025
Club officials have reported seeing Shane Greene at the ballpark as early as 7 am. His dedication, coupled with a shrewd management style and a knack for knowing "who's hot and who's not" earned Greene the Gulf Coast Rookie League Manager of the Year Award for 2025.
"I guess you could say I pushed all the right buttons at the right time for the Marlins to have the season we did. But keep in mind, too, that I also had a group of dedicated ballplayers who played their hearts out. I thank them for winning this award for me."
There was much joy in Miami (GCL) this season. Their beloved Marlins took first place in the East Division, rounding out the year with a 44-16 record.
