Bill Walkenbach is an American college baseball coach, currently the head coach of Division III Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. Previously, he was the head coach at Cornell from 2009 season to 2015 season and at Franklin & Marshall from 2006 to 2008. Walkenbach led both of these schools to an NCAA Tournament appearance.
Walkenbach attended Cornell, where he played baseball from 1995 to 1998. A shortstop, he was named All-Ivy League as a first-teamer in his freshman and sophomore seasons and a second-teamer in his junior and senior seasons.
Walkenbach's coaching career began in the early 2000s, when he served as an assistant at Division III Emory from 2002 to 2003. His first Division I came as an assistant at Cornell from 2004 to 2005. In 2005, the Big Red won their first Gehrig Division title but lost to Harvard in the Ivy Championship Series.
His first head coaching job was at Division III Franklin & Marshall (F&M), where he coached from 2006 to 2008, replacing Brett Boretti, who had left to become the head coach at Columbia. In three seasons, the Diplomats had a 69-42 record under Walkenbach. They won the Centennial Conference regular season title in 2006 and 2007 and the Centennial Tournament in 2006. In the 2006 NCAA Tournament, the team went 1-2 in the Mid-Atlantic Regional. It beat Gwynedd Mercy in the opener, then lost to TCNJ and Montclair State and was eliminated. F&M's Ted Serro won the 2006 Centennial Pitcher of the Year award, and Gary Kruger was named the Player of the Year. Serro was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2006 MLB Draft.
