Golden Eagle baseball fans know him as Skip. People who spend a lot of time around him are familiar with the phrases “jeezo-peezo,” “mentality,” and a few others too colorful to print here. His players, both former and current, can recite the five P’s: “proper planning prevents poor procedure.” But it’s the rich history Jim Walker has brought to the CSI program that defines who he is. Skip Walker is a legend at CSI. Not only was Walker inducted into the CSI Athletic Hall of Fame, but Frontier Field was officially named the James F. “Skip” Walker baseball field. In his 3 years as head coach at CSI, Walker planted the trees, built the clubhouse and played a major role in creating one of the top five JUCO fields in the country. Along the way, he has cultivated baseball players, winning 2 region titles, competing in nine JUCO World Series and winning a national championship in 984, taking third in 988, fourth in 986 and fifth in 975. Retiring from head coaching duties in 2004, Skip continues to be a part of CSI baseball, staying on as a hitting coach. Walker, 63, has been married to his wife Julene for 4 years. They have a daughter, Carly, and a son, Boomer, who is the Golden Eagles head coach. “I’m the luckiest guy in the country. I have an offensive assistant that has won more than 1100 games in his career. I’m in a great, great situation. He can now use his knowledge to help the players without worrying about all the other stuff.” - Boomer Walker on having his dad and former head coach Skip Walker as an assistant.

Volunteer Assistant Coach Gene Ritchie “Our program couldn’t survive without Geno. He is the first one at the field each day and the last one to leave. He is the hardest working retired person in the country.” - Coach Walker 9 Manager Marcus Schaal Twin Falls, Idaho
