Tye Hallowell is entering his second season as Head Coach and his sixth season at Independence Community College.
Hallowell spent 4 years as Assistant Coach, and was named the
Pirate skipper late in the summer of 2007. His coaching career began at the
high school level, coaching in the McCook American Legion Baseball program in
his hometown of McCook Nebraska. During that time he spent three years as an
assistant, and two years at the helm, prior to his arrival at ICC. Hallowell
has been an integral part of the recent success of the Pirate baseball program
both on and off the field. His recruiting efforts have helped build Pirate
baseball into a KJCCC contender. Coach Hallowell was responsible for recruiting former Pirate pitcher Josh Beal, who was drafted
(and signed) by the Cincinnati Reds in the 44th round of the 2007 first year
player draft.
