Derek Hagen serves as an Assistant Coach for the 12U-Gill and 8U-Stack Xtreme teams. With eight years of baseball and softball coaching experience, he also contributes as a board member for WAA Softball. A lifelong ballplayer, he started playing baseball at age four, went on to help his high school team capture a state championship as a senior, played at Marshall University, and has since played on several competitive adult softball teams in the region.
Coach Hagen’s primary goal is to help shape players into well-rounded young adults by fostering an environment built on teamwork, dedication, competition, and fun. As the owner and Physical Therapist of Hagen Movement Institute, specializing in orthopedics and sports performance, he brings professional expertise to the field—emphasizing coordination, speed, agility, and strength development while instilling a love for the game.
He lives in Webster with his wife, Elise, their two daughters, Adelynn and Annika, and their son, Cameron. Outside of coaching, he enjoys watching baseball, golf, and hockey, and proudly cheers for the New York Yankees.
