Bill Waag is one of the great shortstops in the illustrious history of Lower Columbia College baseball. Waag came to LCC after receiving All-State honors at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo. He is already an inductee in the Kitsap Sports Hall of Fame.

At Lower Columbia, Waag was a member of the 1977 Red Devil team that featured current LCC Hall of Famer Buddy Black.  Waag helped the Devils to the NWAC tournament that season. 

He then followed that up with a great sophomore year under new head coach Scott Carnahan, leading LCC to the NWAC tournament where he was named All-NWAC.

Waag was drafted in the 4th round of the MLB Draft but delayed his pro career to come back to LCC.  He then spurned major college offers to sign with the Pirates following his sophomore year and spent four seasons in the Pittsburgh minor league system.

Waag is currently a teacher in the Toledo School District after serving as a longtime coach and principle in the District.
