Joe Walsh has been a college coach.
Walsh was head coach of Suffolk University, his alma mater, from 1982-1995, going 219-167-1. He was also head coach of the Brewster Whitecaps in 1988 and pitching coach of the Wareham Gatemen from 1991-1998. He was hired as Harvard's head coach in 1996, the first endowed baseball coach in school history (a former Harvard player had donated $2.5 million to endow the coach's job as one would a professorship). Walsh went 34-16 in 1997, leading Harvard to its first Ivy League title, then beat fourth-ranked UCLA in the NCAA Tournament. Harvard repeated as Ivy League champs in 1998 (when they set a school record with 36 wins and were ranked 24th nationally at year's end) and 1999. Walsh reached 500 career wins in April 2007. He was 324-322-2 after 15 seasons at Harvard.
