STAFF

MANAGER Randy Pullar

Randy enters his 10th year coaching youth baseball, serving the baseball communities in Thurston and Pierce Counties. He has coached Pony, USSSA and Cal Ripken league, all-star, and independent teams in both manager and assistant coaching roles. Additionally, Randy has been a staff coach for Trinity Baseball Club in Tumwater; staff coach with Reality Sports baseball program; and has run independent team, small group, and individual skill development sessions. He has enjoyed working with kids of all ages, from the beginning T-baller to high school select athletes. Randy is a member of the Reality Sports Coaches Association and has certifications from Babe Ruth League and NAIA's Character Driven Coaching program.

"My family is thankful for the opportunity to continue our involvement with Reality Sports. This is where we feel at home," Randy says. "Our coaching staff will focus on growth, development, and performance as a baseball club and young men. We want each player in red and black to understand the platform they have been given through baseball and the impact they can make in their unique mission field."

COACH John Pagel

John played high school baseball, but didn't really catch the baseball "bug" until he started coaching his son Johnny at the age of 8. John coached a select team from 2004-2006, compiling a 101-57-6 record. His team, the Puyallup Panthers, made the Mickey Mantle state playoffs in 2005 and 2006, taking 3rd and 5th place, respectively. From 2007-2009 he assisted RS Director of Baseball, Tim Kuykendall, coaching 16-18 year olds. John's coaching philosophy is pretty simple. "When you get young people to believe, they can accomplish anything," Coach Pagel says. He believes this is true with the sport of baseball, but more importantly with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

John is currently a Detective Sergeant with the Kent Police Department but is returning to school this year to pursue a degree in Education. He hopes to teach middle school and continue coaching baseball.

COACH Johnny Pagel

Johnny played baseball at Curtis High School under Reality Sports co-founder Tim Kuykendall. As a senior in 2009, he was selected as a South Puget Sound League second team third baseman. Johnny played summer ball with Reality Sports clubs for four years and went on to play college baseball at Tacoma Community College. Career highlights include trips playing in Japan and the Dominican Republic.

Johnny assisted coaching the 18U Reality Sports in 2010 and has coached at a number of summer camps and clinics. He is currently a student at the University of Washington Tacoma with the goal of acquiring an Education degree.
