The 2019-2020 season marks Dylan Ernst's first as a volunteer coach for the Penn State Greater Allegheny Baseball team. He returns to PSUGA after spending 2015-2019 in a Lions uniform where he put together one of the best individual careers in program history. 

In his four plus years in a PSUGA uniform, Ernst hit .350 with two home runs and 63 RBI over 98 career games with PSUGA. Ernst's best season came in 2019 when he set career highs in every offensice category hitting .494 with one home run and 25 RBI. However, his biggest accomplishment that season was his 24-Game on-base streak that lasted from March 6th all the way through the end of the season. During that streak, he collected a hit in 18 straight games and, in total, collected at least one hit in 22 of the 24 games that he reached base.

Ernst is a graduate of McKeesport high school where he played baseball for four years and he is a native of McKeesport, Pennsylvania. While coaching PSUGA, he also works for the city of McKeesport where he helps on jobs around the city.
