After finishing 24-27 and missing the Big Ten Tournament yet again, Northwestern baseball elected to conduct a search for a new head coach, with interim lead man Josh Reynolds remaining an option to guide the program.
On Tuesday, the Wildcats got their guy.
Northwestern named Jim Foster head coach, formally moving on from Reynolds. Foster will be the 29th head coach in program history.
Foster, 50, served as Army’s head coach from 2017-22, where he collected a 162-140 record. The Black Knights won the Patriot League championship each of the last four complete seasons, earning NCAA Tournament appearances in all such years.
