The Waynesburg University Department of Athletics welcomed Tyler Rubasky back to campus as its new head baseball coach in August of 2026. He was a proud member of the team from 2012 to 2016.
Rubasky, a native of Hazleton, Pa., was a steady, productive catcher for the Jackets. After flashing his potential by hitting .375 over 11 games as a sophomore, he became a regular in Waynesburg’s two-catcher rotation over his junior and season campaigns. He started 22-of-23 games in both of those seasons and hit .284 over that same time period.
Rubasky began his coaching career with the Yellow Jackets as an assistant coach for the 2017 and 2018 seasons, before moving on to an assistant position at Franklin (Ind.) College in 2019. He made the move up to the Division II ranks when he became top assistant coach at Davis & Elkins (W.Va.). Following two years with D&E, Rubasky returned to Division III when he was tabbed as the top assistant at Trine (Ind.) in 2023.
After two years with the Thunder, he stayed in the Hoosier State and became the top assistant coach at Anderson University, where he made a noticeable impact in the program’s recruiting by helping put together a 17-man class that included 15 freshmen and two transfers.
His dedication to the Ravens was rewarded prior to the 2026 campaign when he was named head coach. Rubasky responded to Anderson’s faith in him by leading the Orange and Black to a 22-20-1 record that included a 12-10 mark in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, which qualified them for the HCAC tournament.
