The Biola baseball program added Ryan Sires to the coaching staff ahead of the 2020-21 academic year.

Sires comes to Eagles Diamond after two years packed with concentrated coaching experience at the collegiate level. After working at the high school and travel ball level from 2016 to 2018, Sires spent two years working with the highly regarded two-year program at Yakima Valley College and carrying head coach responsibilities for the Portland Prairie Dogs and Western Nebraska Pioneers summer ball teams.

“Ryan is a hard worker that we have known about for a while now. He has done a great job as an assistant coach at YVC with their players and the overall success of their program,” said Head Coach Jeff Calhoon. “He has been molded by Kyle Krustangel and Cash Ulrich into a stellar young coach and his blue collar work ethic fits into our program well. I look forward to having him continue to build Biola baseball with the current staff.”

Sires has been on several winning teams as a result of his coaching experience and his time as a player himself with the Yakima Valley Yaks. The Yaks currently have a streak of winning records in every full season since 2010, thanks in part to Sires’ 2015 team that won 15 games at home and the 2019 squad that won 30 games and qualified for the NWAC Championship Tournament with Sires as an assistant coach.

As a result of his contributions to YVC, Sires brings the glowing endorsement of his work-ethic from former NWAC Champion and NWAC Coach of the Year, Kyle Krustangel:

“Ryan Sires is a relentless worker that pours his heart and soul into the program!” said Krustangel. “I appreciate all that he did here in Yakima and I believe Biola is getting a great coach with a big passion for the game.”

Sires also played his four years of varsity high school baseball in Yakima and is originally from Union Gap, Washington. He will work with the Eagles outfielders and contribute to recruiting efforts for Biola’s baseball program.

"I'm extremely excited to join Coach Calhoon's staff here at Biola. Biola offers me the unique experience of not only helping players grow spiritually, mentally, and physically; but also get to grow in my own personal faith and coaching abilities,” said Sires. “I can't wait to get on the field and help continue the winning culture that Coach Calhoon, Baker, and Cordy have already instilled here at Biola."
