The Mind's Eye On - Baseball: Josh Elander

Joining Geoff Miller is Josh Elander, the Associate Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator at the University of Tennessee Volunteers winners of the College World Series this year.

Josh discusses the mental side of coaching hitters and how he has helped 18 players be selected in the top seven rounds of the MLB draft in the last five years. 

A former player in his own right, Elander was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the sixth round of the 2012 MLB Draft and spent parts of four years in the Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks minor league systems.

During his seven seasons on staff, the Volunteers have made five NCAA Tournament appearances (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), three trips to the College World Series (2021, 2023, 2024) and captured the program's first national championship (2024)
