Coach Hasty is entering his 1st season as the Head Coach of the Lions, after spending two years on staff as an Assistant coach under Joel Johnson.  While he was an assistant, Coach Hasty was responsible for recruiting and was also the pitching coach. 

A 2006 graduate from Bryan College, Hasty helped restart the baseball program at Bryan in 2002 after a 16-year hiatus.  Despite playing third base and left field for the Lions, Hasty was primarily a pitcher, holding career records in Innings Pitched (332) and Saves (8).  Hasty saw the program grow from 8 wins his freshmen year to 24 his senior year and a 6th place finish in the Appalachian Athletic Conference.  He served as a team captain for 3 years and in his senior season earned the Bryan College Athletic Department's highest honor, the Lion of Valor award, given to the outstanding Christian athlete who excelled both on and off the field.

A native of Charlotte, NC, Hasty graduated from Charlotte Latin School.  He earned his bachelor's degree from Bryan and will soon receive his master's in sports management from the United States Sports Academy.

Coach Hasty has been married to the former Julie Thompson of Chattanooga, TN for two years, and the couple currently resides in Dayton, TN.
