Tyler has been the Head Coach of the Savannah Bananas since 2018. In his tenure, the Bananas have had over 30 players drafted into the MLB while also winning Back-to-Back CPL Championships in 2021 & 2022 before going ALL-IN on Banana Ball. Tyler played a role in creating the original Banana Ball rules and attending the first ever Banana Ball game at Lander University in the Fall of 2018.
In 2017, Gillum set a life goal to “have a positive impact on 1,000,000 people”. On that journey, he found the Bananas, and together they have been leading the charge in creating what ESPN called “The Greatest Show In Sports”. Banana Ball has traveled to over 50 cities selling out stadiums nationwide. In 2024 alone, the Bananas played in 30 cities plus 6 MLB stadiums with over 1,000,000 fans in attendance. In 2025, they will play in 17 MLB stadiums, 4 football stadiums surpassing 2,000,000 fans.
Before Banana Ball, he coached college baseball for 13 years. He spent 11 years at South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, Arizona from 2011-2022. During his time at SMCC, Gillum was the Associate Head Coach and the Director of Exercise Science, overseeing all the Strength & Conditioning for Athletics. During those college years, he coached 10 summers of summer collegiate baseball spending time in the Cape Cod League and winning 3 Championships in the Texas Collegiate League.
Additionally, Gillum is a keynote speaker at conventions and clinics around the country specializing in culture, team building, infield development and baserunning. His motto “Bet On Yourself” has raised thousands of dollars to buy custom “Bet On Yourself” baseball gloves for kids across America.
Gillum out kicked his coverage by marrying Danielle Gillum in 2019. Together they have a 4-year-old son named Camden.
