The 2016 Boston College baseball season was one for the record books. Not only did the Eagles reach the NCAA postseason for the first time since 2009, but they also came within one win of earning a berth the College World Series, something BC has never done in the modern era. However, as happens in all sports, with success comes personnel turnover. Not only are players lost to the MLB draft, but assistant coaches are often offered head coaching positions at other universities. Such was the case in June as Jim Foster, the Eagles pitching coach, accepted the head coaching position at Army.
