Dustin Felvus

Dustin Felvus is head coach of the Cosmic Peppers and has been part of the Chili Peppers organization since 2023. According to the team's staff page, he coached Chili Peppers split-squad games and then led the Cosmic Peppers through the inaugural Cosmic season.

Coaching is the through-line of his career. He has spent more than 16 years on high school sidelines, primarily at Manchester High School, with a year at Cosby High School. The staff page also says he has worked as an instructor and as head coach of showcase teams, with a focus on player development.

His American Legion Post 137 teams were a Virginia force. Under Felvus they won back-to-back state championships, finished state runner-up twice, and reached the state final in four of five years, going 89-11 across those seasons.

He knows the playing side as well. The staff page says he was an all-district player at Manchester High School, then earned all-conference and all-tournament honors at Rappahannock Junior College, part of the school's 2011 JUCO State Championship team.

Players keep bringing him up. On the Cosmic Confessions podcast, outfielder Nolan MacCabe names Felvus as a mentor who believed in him when few others did.

We looked for a public Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account for Dustin and did not find one, and the staff page lists no handles. That makes him a coach to meet at the ballpark rather than online, so check the official Chili Peppers channels for where the Cosmic Peppers play next.
