Greg Elliott is a Director of Field Operations who works with the San Francisco Giants to manage the playing surface at Oracle Park. Balancing the safety and aesthetics of a Major League Baseball playing surface with high event use in an ever-changing economic market is the drive behind his strategies.
Greg believes in a ground first approach by balancing and building the different soils, utilizing green technology to lessen inputs, and limit injury risks associated with high use sports facilities. Starting in the lower levels of Minor League Baseball brought an appreciation and perspective to safety, hiring, training and budgetary management. His time with USA baseball, Arizona Fall League, The Toledo Mud Hens, Indianapolis Indians, Cedar Rapids Kernels, and The Lake County Captains all have played a significant role shaping his current turfgrass strategies.
During his ascent to San Francisco he was awarded South Atlantic Leagues Honors: Groundskeeper of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007; Best Playing Surface honors in 2003, 2004, and 2007; Sports Turf Managers Association Field of the Year Award in 2004 & 2006.
Greg holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Bowling Green State University and an Associate’s Degree from the College of Natural Resources and Agronomy at Michigan State University.
