Josh Eachues returns to the USC Aiken baseball program this season as an assistant coach under the direction of head coach Kenny Thomas.

Eachues signed with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008. He joined the Pacers prior to the 2010 season after playing two seasons of professional baseball with the Washington Wild Things in the Independent Frontier League.

Prior to his professional career in the Frontier League, Eachues played winter ball in Australia while also coaching an Under-16 team.

Eachues may be familiar to CSRA baseball fans not only from his playing days at USC Aiken, but also as a founding member of the Aiken Foxhounds in the former South Coast League. He was eventually traded to the Georgia Peanuts who went on to win the SCL Championship.

During his playing days at USC Aiken, Eachues was named to the Peach Belt Conference All-Tournament team in 2007. Prior to joining the Pacer program, Eachues was a member of the Coastal Carolina baseball program under the direction of former Pacer head mentor Gary Gilmore.
