Chris Pope – Freshman Head Coach

Coach Chris Pope enters his 6th season on the Yuba City coaching staff, bringing deep roots, dedication, and championship experience back to the Honker program. This season, Coach Pope takes the helm as Head Coach for the Freshman team, while continuing his key role in mentoring and developing coaching talent across the program's lower-level teams.

Chris was an integral part of the Honkers' remarkable recent success, serving on the coaching staff for both the 2025 CIF NorCal State Championship team and the 2025 Section Championship team. His strong connection to Yuba City baseball runs deep—as a former Honker player, he competed on the iconic early-2000s teams that captured three Section titles under legendary Head Coach Jim Stassi.

With years of experience coaching at every level of the game and a proven commitment to player and coach development, Coach Pope continues to be a cornerstone of the Yuba City baseball tradition. We’re thrilled to have him leading our Freshman team this season!
