Drew Fiala is back for a third season as an assistant coach with the Bobcats.

Jones is 91-25 in his first two seasons with back-to-back NJCAA World Series appearances, consecutive region championships and a pair of MACCC runner-up finishes. 

Fiala spent the 2022-2023 seasons as the head coach at Raleigh High School where the Lions were 38-19-1 and won Region 6-3A both years.

His first full-time coaching job was as an assistant coach at his high school alma mater, West Jones, in 2021.
 
Fiala was a manager for the Bobcat softball team for the 2016-17 seasons and was a graduate assistant for Jones in 2020 where he helped then-assistant coach Tori Dew with hitters.

He moved on to Southern Miss where he was a manager during the 2018-19 seasons and got his degree in 2020 in sports coaching education.

While serving as a manager at both schools, Fiala caught bullpens, hit fungo for the coaches, worked with hitters and helped with field maintenance.
