In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, host Matt Wyatt sits down with former national baseball player of the year and College World Series MVP Tanner Allen to talk baseball, banana ball, and the outdoor life that shaped him long before he became an SEC legend.

Tanner explains why he considers himself “an outdoorsman who plays baseball on the side,” and shares stories of growing up hunting and fishing with his dad and grandfather in south Alabama. He talks about the first hog hunt that hooked him, offshore fishing at Dauphin Island, how the outdoors kept him out of trouble in high school, and why he still sees the woods and the water as therapy.
