Darren Lewis played in the majors for 13 years and still holds the MLB record for most games without an error in the outfield. He played professional baseball with seven teams, including the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants, making three playoff appearances and collecting a Gold Glove as a centerfielder.

“We're happy to welcome Darren to our staff,” Director of Athletics Debby De Angelis said. “His vast experience as a player and coach in the major leagues will be a great asset to the baseball program. We are excited to have him and are looking forward to seeing what he and Coach Ralston have in store for the team.”

Lewis joins the Pioneer staff after spending the last four years as a baseball coach at Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon. He spent one season as the junior varsity coach before becoming an assistant for the varsity squad for three years. During his time there, he helped guide the Wildcats to consecutive North Coast Section playoff appearances.
