FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Former sixth round draft pick and freshman All-American catcher Josh Elander has been named a volunteer assistant coach for the Razorback baseball team, head coach Dave Van Horn announced Tuesday.

Braves fans may remember him as a solid hitting prospect in the low minors a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly, he was drafted as a catcher but moved to left field almost immediately. He had a good showing in A ball but struggled in High A and ran into shoulder problems that he really never recovered from. They traded him in the spring of last year for Trevor Cahill and the D Backs released him not long after that.
