Phill Shallenberger
Phill Shallenberger is the head coach of Messiah University's baseball program. He began his role at Messiah in September 2021. In his 4th season coaching the Falcons, he led the team all the way to the Division III College World Series, where Messiah finished as national runner-ups - it was the furthest playoff run, by far, in program history.
Prior to Messiah, Shallenberger was the head coach of Cairn University's baseball team, following previous coaching experiences at Geneva College as a grad assistant, a season with the Savannah Bananas, and with the Park Sports Complex and Powerballers Baseball in the Lehigh Valley.
It's not secret to anyone involved with Messiah baseball that Shallenberger's family is of the utmost importance; his wife and two sons can often be seen joining him at the field.
