Overcash is in his second season at Wichita State after joining the Shockers on June 20, 2023. He joined the Shockers after six seasons in the same role at Oklahoma, where he helped the Sooners to the College World Series finals in 2022 and two other NCAA tournament appearances in 2018 and 2023.
During his time in Oklahoma, Overcash and the Sooners compiled a .591 winning percentage (189-131), highlighted by eight postseason victories. Overcash was largely responsible for the recruitment and development of 31 MLB draft picks since 2018, including 11 Sooners in the 2022 draft alone.
Overcash consistently produced elite recruiting classes while with the Sooners, ranking 13th in the country in 2021 and 22nd the following year according to Perfect Game. In his most recent class this past season, Overcash helped sign 14 players, six of which ranked among the top 25 in their respective states. All 12 of the high school signees ranked in Perfect Game's top 500 players in the country.
That recruiting philosophy paid dividends on the diamond with an offense built around patience and athleticism. In 2023, Oklahoma ranked 11th nationally in walks (350) and 19th nationally in stolen bases (114), following up on top-five marks in both offensive categories a year prior.
Over the course of his time in Norman, Overcash developed a pair of Sooner backstops into fourth round MLB draft picks; Brady Lindsly in 2020 and Jimmy Crooks in 2022. This past season, Oklahoma catcher Easton Carmichael was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team.
Prior to arriving in Norman, Overcash served 18 years as a Midwest area scout for the Chicago White Sox and was involved with the Area Code Games as a part of the Midwest Scout Team. A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Overcash was also a co-founder of The Sandlot Sox Organization, a Tulsa-based youth baseball organization that produced 64 MLB draft picks from 2005 until its closing in 2017.
Overcash played collegiately at Middle Georgia Junior College and USC Upstate, earning All-District honors in 1990. He began his coaching career with stints as an assistant at UNC Asheville and Armstrong State, later moving to Tulsa where Overcash coached high school baseball before joining the White Sox.
Overcash and his wife, Melissa, have two children; a son, Richie and a daughter, Remi.
