Three months after taking over on an interim basis, Josh Foreman has been named permanent coach of the Carl Sandburg College baseball team.

Foreman joined the Chargers as an assistant coach during the 2017-18 season and was named interim coach after Jake Tenhouse announced his departure from the College in August.

“Coach Foreman did an excellent job after taking over our program during the fall, and we’re excited to keep him on board with us beyond this spring,” Sandburg Athletic Director Mike Bailey said. “He has a great relationship with his players, an exceptional knowledge of the game and is incredibly deserving of having the interim tag removed from his title.”

A Brimfield High School graduate, Foreman began his collegiate career at Waubonsee from 2002-03, earning Second-Team All-Region IV honors in both of his seasons with the Chiefs. He also set the Waubonsee record for career RBIs with 81.

Foreman then transferred to Murray State, an NCAA Division I program, and played in 63 games for the Racers from 2004-05.

“I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to continuing to build this program,” Foreman said. “We have a great group of players returning this season, and I can’t wait for the chance to lead them this spring and build on the success we had last year.”

Sandburg, coming off a 29-14 season that saw the Chargers win their first Arrowhead Conference championship since 2008, opens its spring season Feb. 22 in Carterville against South Suburban.
