Trevor Staffieri, Varsity Head Coach


Coach Staffieri is in his first year at Segerstrom High School. He was recruited to play baseball at Westmont College out of high school, where he suffered a career-ending injury. Following this, Coach Staffieri had the opportunity to coach the JV team at Fountain Valley High School. During his time there, he developed a love for coaching and developing strong student athletes. Because of this love, Coach Staffieri went back to school to get his teaching credential and master's degree. 
During his first two years, he led a last and second-to-last-place team to second-place finishes. Last season, Coach Staffieri’s team finished with a record of 24-4. In addition to coaching the baseball team, Coach Staffieri works as a substitute at Segerstrom High School.
"I am excited to continue and expand the great reputation that Segerstrom baseball has in the Santa Ana community. We have a great history of winning league championships and making CIF playoffs. We are looking forward to adding more banners to our wall."
