COACHING STAFF
Jeff Lyle
Head Coach
Jeff Lyle was born in Eugene before moving to Arroyo Grande, Calif. as a youngster. He played three years of varsity baseball at Arroyo Grande before graduating high school in 1995 and moving on to Merced Junior College. After a series of injuries to his wrist, elbow and rotator cuff, he moved back to Eugene in 2004 and began coaching youth baseball. He coached a couple years at Thurston High School before taking a job as a scout with the Atlanta Braves. In 2008, he began a nine-year run as an assistant baseball coach at Lane Community College. “I found out that I couldn’t be a college coach and scout, but coaching is what I fell in love with so I stayed with that career,” Lyle said. Lyle spent the summer of 2012 in the West Coast League as pitching coach of the Klamath Falls Gems and later worked with the Medford Rogues in the WCL and Great West League, including a GWL championship in 2017.

Barry Bokn
General Manager
Barry was raised in Eugene since the age of 5, graduating from Willamette High School and earning an Associate of Arts degree from Lane Community College. He then attended Oregon State University where he studied Business Education, eventually going on to earn a Masters Degree in Education and Leadership from the University of Oregon. He also played and coached basketball at Bushnell University and Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay, OR. Following his graduation, Barry returned to Willamette High School to teach, coach, and serve as Athletic Director for 32 years, retiring in 2017. He married his Junior High sweetheart, Shawn, who he shares two children with, Holly and Cody, as well as three grandchildren. If Barry is not chasing his grandkids or watching Springfield Drifters baseball, there is a good chance he’s playing golf with his wife at Shadow Hills Country Club. Barry expressed that he is “very excited for this opportunity to support college kids chase their dreams of playing professional baseball, and positively impact youth in the Springfield community through the Drifters Helping Kids program!”
