- Email:
Foster comes to the New River Valley after spending last season as a coach at Wichita State and is entering his first season with Radford. With the Shockers, Foster served as the pitching strategist and director of analytics.
"I'm incredibly excited and grateful for the opportunity to join Coach Guerra's staff and represent the Radford University baseball program. I'm looking forward to working alongside this talented group of coaches and helping elevate the program."
In 2026 with the Shockers, Foster helped guide a pitching staff that navigated a challenging American Conference schedule for a top five staff ERA in the conference. Wichita State pitchers averaged just over nine strikeouts per nine while holding opponents to just a .268 batting average, a full 20 points below Wichita State's own offensive mark. Two pitchers would also earn all-AAC honors at the end of the season.
Before landing in Wichita, Foster spent four years as a coach at Tread Athletics, a sports performance and development facility in Charlotte, N.C. While with Tread, he helped facilitate the college commitments of more than 70 athletes, the signing of more than 30 athletes to professional contracts, the selection of double digit MLB Draft picks and helped multiple athletes make their MLB debuts.
At the college level, Foster has winning experience as both a player and a coach, with three NCAA regional appearances as a player and one as a coach. A native of Grove City, Ohio, Foster was a right-handed pitcher at Wright State University from 2015-18, then spent one season at the University of Iowa after graduating from WSU. All told, Foster made 63 appearances and 11 starts in his college career, going 7-4 with a 4.04 ERA in 104.2 innings.
Foster transitioned to coaching at his alma mater, becoming Wright State's Director of Player Development in fall 2019 on the staff of head coach Alex Sogard. He served on the Raiders coaching staff through the 2021 season, guiding some of the best pitching staffs in program history. Following the 2020 COVID year, Foster helped Wright State to a tremendously successful 2021 season, earning a Horizon League tournament championship and a berth in the Knoxville Regional.
In addition to overseeing a Wright State pitching staff that posted a league-best 4.41 ERA, WSU hurlers issued the fewest walks in the Horizon (139) and allowed the lowest opponent batting average (.255). Raiders pitchers established new school records for strikeout percentage, walk percentage, and K:BB ratio, ranking top 30 nationally in all three categories. Nine members of the Raiders 2021 pitching staff went on to play professional baseball.
