Josh Nashed launched Nexus Athlete Advising in 2023 after spending a decade in DI & professional baseball as both a player and coach. After finishing his pro career with the Cleveland Indians, Josh spent 4 seasons coaching at Saint Mary’s College in the West Coast Conference where he was promoted on 3 different occasions. In 2021, Josh became the youngest full time assistant coach in the country at the Division I level, and a year later was named the recruiting coordinator at SMC.
In his first two full seasons leading the Gaels pitching staff, Saint Mary’s produced 6 MLB Draft picks on the mound including 3 top-10 round selections; good for 1st in the West Coast Conference and the best two-year span in Saint Mary’s program history. Gaels pitchers racked up a whopping $2.42 million in draft signing bonuses during that span.
