JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Saint Peter's University Director of Athletics
Katie Arcuri announced the hiring of
Joe Haumacher as the 14th head coach in the history of the Peacocks baseball program on Friday.
Haumacher arrives at Saint Peter's following four seasons at Princeton University, where he served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. During his tenure, Haumacher helped the Tigers reach the Ivy League Tournament championship game in 2023 after the program improved by 17 wins from the previous season. He also played a key role in recruiting and the development of Princeton's pitching staff.
I'm excited to officially welcome Coach Joe Haumacher to Saint Peter's University as the new head coach of our baseball program," Arcuri stated. "Our goal was to find a leader who can build and sustain a competitive Division I program, develop our student-athletes, and establish a strong culture for long-term success. We believe Coach Haumacher is the right person to do just that."
Prior to Princeton, Haumacher spent three seasons in the Baltimore Orioles organization as an affiliate pitching coach. During his time with the Orioles, he worked in player development, collaborated with the organization's scouting department on amateur draft acquisitions and worked with players from seven different countries.
A New Jersey native, Haumacher played Division I baseball at Wofford College and Old Dominion University before earning his bachelor's degree in communications from Old Dominion in 2011. He went on to play three seasons of professional baseball in the Pecos League, Can-Am League and Atlantic League before beginning his coaching career.
Haumacher has also held coaching positions at Amherst College, Dixie State University, Raritan Valley Community College and with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters of the Northwoods League. At Amherst, he was part of the 2018 NESCAC Coaching Staff of the Year, while at Dixie State, his pitching staff established seven school records.
In addition to his collegiate and professional coaching experience, Haumacher spent four years working with renowned pitching instructor Tom House and the National Pitching Association at USC. During that time, he worked with professional pitchers on arm rehabilitation, training regimens and pitching mechanics.
"I am excited to capitalize on the momentum sparked by last year's staff and the young assistants in place," said Haumacher. "Building a program that develops well-rounded young men, we set out to make the Metro Tournament and bring pride to Peacock Nation."
