T. Scott Muscat enters his 13th season as the Spartans Head Baseball Coach. In 2000 he took over a struggling NAIA program and helped to reclassify it as an NCAA DII member. Under his leadership the Spartans have qualified for their conference tournament in seven of their first nine NCAA seasons while compiling a 119-104 conference record. Over the past four seasons STAC has been a model of consistency, being the only ECC team to average both 25 wins and finish in the top three. During Muscat’s tenure six Spartans have gone on to play professionally. With excellence demanded not only on the field but in the classroom, his players have routinely averaged a 3.0 GPA. This past year he played an active role in helping to secure Provident Bank Park as the new home field for STAC Baseball.

Before assuming his coaching duties Muscat had a stellar playing career. As a prep star in Greensboro, North Carolina he amassed over 300 strikeouts, a 25-3 win/loss slate, 9-0 post-season mark, and two post-season no-hitters while leading Western Guilford H.S. to a 44-8 record (12-0 post-season) and two consecutive North Carolina State Championships. As a team captain at UNC Charlotte he set the single game strikeout record of 16 Ks and hit .298 with 298 at-bats as an outfielder. Selected in the 18th round of the 1989 draft, he pitched two seasons in the Milwaukee Brewers minor league system until a second shoulder surgery ended his career.

Outside of STAC Muscat has remained active. Over the past 14 years he has served as a recruiter and instructor for the Nyack Indians of the New Jersey Amateur Baseball League (wood bat). Nyack is the five-time Rockland County Champion, 2004 N.J. State Champion, and the ‘05, ‘06, ‘07 & ‘08 NJABL Champion. Muscat has also been active in youth baseball, helping to coach his son Tyler’s 8U teams at PBI in which they won 4 out of 5 tournaments and the 8U Haverstraw All-Star team which won the Rockland County Tournament this past summer. Over the winter he runs the Spartan Winter Baseball Academy, conducting indoor clinics at STAC's gym.

Born in West Covina, California and raised in Greensboro, N.C., Muscat received his B.A. in Economics from UNC Charlotte ('90) and a Masters in Secondary Education from St. Thomas Aquinas ('02). He also works as a history teacher. He and his wife, former Kelly Adamson and sons Tyler (9), Cameron (7), and Mason (4) reside in West Haverstraw, N.Y.
