Mark Stacy

 Mark Stacy was one of the West Virginia Conference’s top hitters throughout his career and helped the West Liberty baseball team dominate the WVIAC’s Northern Division during the late 1970s. A native of Steubenville, Ohio, Mark led the Hilltoppers in hits in 1975, becoming only the second freshman to earn first-team All-WVIAC honors since the first All-WVIAC team was selected in 1963.

He was a three-time All-WVIAC selection and a first-team NAIA All-Area 7 honoree as a junior. Mark played a key role in leading Coach Jim Watson’s West Liberty squad to four consecutive WVIAC Northern Division titles, three straight WVIAC championships, and multiple NAIA Area 7 tournament berths.

Mark also helped guide Steubenville Post 33’s American Legion team to six Ohio state titles during a 30-year coaching career. As team manager for nine seasons, he compiled an impressive 302-129 (.701) record, including the 2007 state title. In addition, he served as an assistant coach at Steubenville High School for 21 years.

Beyond his accomplishments at the collegiate and American Legion levels, Mark brings a passion for developing younger players. He has a deep understanding of the game and is especially skilled at coaching hitting, fielding, and the mental aspects of baseball.

Tristan Haught

Tristan Haught is a proud alumnus of Wright State University baseball, where he spent five seasons as one of the Raiders’ most dependable pitchers. A native of Richmond, Ohio and graduate of Edison High School, Tristan brought his small-town work ethic and competitive edge to the Division I level, carving out a reputation as both a resilient athlete and a trusted teammate.

Tristan’s passion for the game now extends beyond his own career, as he shifts his focus to developing the next generation of athletes. His goals are simple but powerful: to help each kid become not only the best athlete they can be, but also the best person they can be. He emphasizes teaching young players to understand how their body and mind operate, while guiding them to recognize the steps necessary to reach the next level of performance.

At The Hitting House, Tristan’s plan is to create individualized routines tailored to each athlete’s needs. This includes structured throwing and arm care programs, as well as strength and mobility training designed to build durability, efficiency, and confidence on the field. His approach combines the discipline of a Division I athlete with the compassion of a mentor who genuinely cares about his players’ growth on and off the diamond.
