After nine years at the helm of Fox Chapel’s baseball program, veteran coach Jim Hastings announced his resignation, citing the growing demands of both the job and his family life.
Hastings leaves behind a legacy marked by more than 100 varsity victories and a reputation for developing disciplined, competitive teams.
The decision comes as the Foxes prepared for another postseason run, having secured a spot in the WPIAL Class 5A playoffs last year and sharing a four‑way tie for the section title in 2024.
Beyond the school year, Hastings also guides the Marucci Spikes during the summer, a role that has further deepened his connection to the regional baseball community.
A Program Poised for Growth
In his final remarks, Hastings expressed confidence that the Fox Chapel baseball program will remain strong for the next four to five years, citing a solid foundation of talent and community support.
Athletic directors and former players alike praised his leadership, noting that the culture he built will continue to attract eager young athletes.
