Migl to be Inducted into ABCA Hall of Fame

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Charlie Migl, long-time Baseball Coach at St. Mary's University, will be inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Hall of Fame, the association announced Wednesday.
 
The induction will take place in Washington, D.C., on Friday, January 3, during the Hall of Fame Banquet presented by C&H Baseball.
 
In his 35 years as the head Baseball coach, Migl collected 1,246 victories — a total that ranks fourth all-time in NCAA history. Migl had 33 winning seasons in those 35 years, with the club becoming NCAA Division II national champions in 2001. Migl's teams have won 15 conference titles and appeared in seven NCAA Regionals and three NAIA World Series.
 
Migl's 1,246 wins also rank 30th all-time, regardless of division. He was inducted into the Heartland Conference Hall of Fame in the league's final year of existence and became a member of the St. Mary's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2023. He earned 14 conference coach of the year awards — seven in the Heartland Conference, five in the Heart of Texas Conference and two in the Big State Conference. He also earned National Coach of the Year honors in both 2001 and 2012.
 
Migl was a four-year letter-winner at St. Mary's in Baseball while earning his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education in 1978. After two years as a teacher at Harlandale High School, Migl was hired in 1982 to be an assistant Baseball coach and took over the reins five seasons later, spending 35 seasons at the helm of the Baseball program. In addition, Migl also spent time working with the Men's and Women's Tennis and Men's Soccer programs while he was an assistant Baseball coach.
 
Migl's tenure as the director of athletics from 2001 to 2013 was one of the most successful eras in StMU history, with the Rattlers winning four of their six national championships and all four of their NCAA national championships (including the academic title for Men's Golf) during that span. The Baseball team won its first-ever national title in 2001 with Migl as head coach and athletics director, and the next year the Softball team followed with its second national championship and first in NCAA play. In 2006, Jamie Amoretti won the Rattlers' first-ever individual national championship at the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship. The 2008-2009 Men's Golf team was named academic national champions by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
 
Migl is one of eight in the ABCA induction class, joining Rich Alday (Pima/New Mexico), Dave Jarvis (Belmont), Dave Johnson (Ephrata HS), Costa "Pop" Kittles (Florida A&M), Dunn Muramaru (Mid-Pacific Institute HS), Jim Schlossnagle (Texas) and Larry Turner (Owasso HS).
