He was born in Charleston, West Virginia.
Lett is a 1969 graduate of Winfield High School in Winfield, West Virginia, where he played football and basketball and ran track.
He earned All-State honors in basketball as the top scorer in the state and All-America honors in football as a quarterback.
He is a 1973 graduate of the University of Kentucky, where he was selected to the All-Southeastern Conference baseball team in 1971.
He also was a quarterback on the Wildcats football team.

Lett has worked in professional baseball as a player, coach, manager and front office executive in each of the last 32 years, having spent 24 of those years within the Cincinnati Reds organization (1973–96).
He began his career as a player with Tampa Tarpons (a Reds' Minor league baseball team) in 1973.
After playing three years of minor league baseball (1973–75) and compiling a .256 batting average, six home runs, and 110 RBI in 313 games, Lett began his managerial career with the Shelby Reds in the Western Carolinas League in 1977.
Lett was a minor league manager in the Reds' chain from 1977 to 1985.
He was selected as the league's Manager of the Year in 1978 after guiding the club to a second-place finish and a 75-64 record.
He was the Reds' Bench Coach from 1986 to 1989 and again in 1996.
He managed in the minors again in 1990, winning the lone South Atlantic League championship for the Charleston Wheelers, coached for the Nashville Sounds in 1991–92, and spent 1993–95 as the Reds' minor-league field coordinator.
In his tenure as a coach in the majors, Lett has worked with four Cy Young Award recipients: Toronto's Pat Hentgen (1996 winner), two-time winner Roger Clemens (1997–98) and Eric Gagné (2003).
Lett also coached Hall of Fame reliever Trevor Hoffman in the minor leagues, helping to convert him from a shortstop to pitcher.

With the Los Angeles Dodgers, Lett served on Manager Jim Tracy's staff, as Bullpen Coach from 2001 through 2004 and as Bench Coach in 2005.
While overseeing the Dodgers' bullpen in 2003, he helped guide the pen to a major-league low 2.46 ERA, the lowest mark by any bullpen since the 1990 Oakland Athletics posted a 2.35 ERA.
The next year, Los Angeles relievers ranked second in the major leagues with a 3.06 ERA.

The team plays its home games in downtown Charleston at Appalachian Power Park.
