Ralph Halbach
14th season


Ralph Halbach returns to the Purple Knights' coaching staff for his 14th season in 2009. Halbach works primary with the pitching staff, but helps out with all areas of the program, including recruiting.

Halbach has been a pitching coach in Vermont for more than 15 years. A native of Saint Anna, Wisc., Halbach spent nine years in the Air Force and was stationed at the Saint Albans Radar site for nearly six years.

Halbach has spent most of his life around the game of softball, playing for local leagues in Wisconsin, Air Force teams, and a team from Grand Rapids, Minn. His knowledge and experience are a critical asset to the pitching staff for the Purple Knights. Halbach has worked for IBM as a lab technician since leaving the service more than 25 years ago.

In January of 2005, Halbach was recognized for his contributions to softball throughout the state by being inducted into the Vermont Expos/Banknorth Sports Community Hall of Fame.

Halbach's sense of humor and passion for the game of softball have positively impacted all of the players that he has coached at Saint Michael's College.
