High Point, N.C. April 7, 2021 – Joe Geck, a veteran athletic trainer with 30 years of experience in pro baseball, will serve as the sports medicine professional for the High Point Rockers in 2021.

He began is professional career with the Kansas City Royals in the Rookie level Gulf Coast League in 1990.
Geck is a graduate of the University of South Florida and holds membership in the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) and is licensed as an athletic trainer in North Carolina.
“This will be a good opportunity and I’m looking forward to working with (manager) Jamie Keefe and the front office in High Point,” said Geck. “My goal is to help the team and help the players and do what I can to get the guys to be the most productive they can be. Guys can’t help the team if they can’t stay on the field. It’s pretty much trying to keep everybody available.”
