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.

During the shortened 2020 campaign, the pitching staff posted a 3.06 team ERA and ranked 7th and 24th in the country with 2.49 Walks-Per-Nine and a 1.11 WHIP, respectively. The Gaels finished 2nd in the WCC in ERA & 1st in HR’s allowed during the 2023 campaign.
Playing Career
Cleveland Indians
After being selected as Cleveland's 19th round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, Josh's professional career was cut short after 5 unsuccessful surgical attempts to repair nerve damage in his throwing arm. They say the "third time's a charm"... it wasn't.
San Jose State University
Josh played for three seasons as a two-way player for the Spartans and was the Opening Day starting pitcher in both his sophomore and junior seasons. He also appeared in a combined 89 games in the field, starting 40 games as the designated hitter, 13 in right field, 9 in left field, 7 at third base, 5 at first base, along with 15 pinch hit appearances.
Leland High School
Josh led the Chargers to a CCS open division championship in his senior season where he set the Leland single season hit record, hitting .471 on the season with 49 hits in 31 games. He was named the San Jose Mercury News Player of the Year, BVAL Mount-Hamilton Division MVP, Cal-Hi Sports First Team All-State, MaxPreps First Team All-State, and Santa Clara County Hot Stove Player of the Year.
Education & Personal
Josh holds a master's degree in Sports Management from Minot State University, and received his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from San Jose State University where he was named a 3-time Academic All-Mountain West honoree and 2017 Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholar national award recipient.
Born and raised in San Jose, CA, Josh currently resides in Pleasant Hill, CA with his wife Paris and daughter Juliet. Josh's grandfather moved to the United States from Cairo, Egypt in the early 1950’s, and he is the only known player of Egyptian descent to play professional baseball outside of Pittsburgh Pirates 1982 1st rounder Sam Khalifa.
