The 2018 season marks John Fugett’s sixth season with the Mountain Hawks. Fugett serves as a full-time assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, as well as the pitching coach.
Fugett helped guide Lehigh to three-straight postseason appearances and 25-win seasons from 2014-16, including back-to-back Patriot League Championship appearances in 2014 and 2015. During Fugett's tenure, the Mountain Hawks also captured their second-ever league crown and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2015. In the past three years, Fugett has helped mentor four MLB draft picks, an All-American, a Freshman All-American, two All-Region selections, a Patriot League Player of the Year, 23 All-Patriot League selections and 10 Academic All-League members. He also guided the 2014 pitching staff to its lowest team ERA in 35 years.
Prior to Lehigh, the Philadelphia, Pa. native was the associate head baseball coach at Germantown Academy, one of the premier high school baseball programs in the Philadelphia region as the team was nationally ranked in 2012, where he worked specifically with pitchers. In addition to coaching, Fugett also taught private lessons to some of the area’s best young talent.
Fugett played four years of college baseball at Lafayette, leading the Leopards to a Patriot League championship in 2007. He was the team's closer for three years and was a 2005 First-Team All-Patriot League relief pitcher.
In the summer of 2006, Fugett led the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League in appearances as he played for the Kitsap Bluejackets. The summer before, in 2005, Fugett pitched for the Kutztown Rockies in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League where he was one of the league's best relief pitchers and a member of the league's All-Star Team.
