“Last night, Coach Arlinghaus stepped down as the head coach of Conner baseball. Arlo has been at the helm for a program record 17 years and has a program record 327 wins. I’m that team, we made 10 regional appearances with 4 district championships and 1 regional championship.

Arlo was a 5-time NKBCA Coach of the Year. His players have earned countless all-star nominations. He has had 3 NKBCA players of the year, 2 conference players of the year, and 1 9th region player of the year.  44 of Arlo’s players have gone on to play collegiate athletics.

While Arlo leaves as the undisputed most successful coach in program history, anyone who knows Arlo knows that while he is extremely proud of the on-field success, it’s the relationships and experiences that mean the most to him.

Arlo has made Conner a truly players-first program. His success has been by building families rather than teams. He always made alumni feel welcome and has kept in contact with every player who played for him. He built our record books and started the baseball hall of fame.

Arlo, thank you for the wins, the memories, the laughs, the tears, the advice, and the hugs. You will be greatly missed! We are excited to see who will take over because they have some big shoes to fill.

Conner baseball alum, please watch for information regarding a “reunion” to honor Coach Arlo later this summer.“

Great Coach, Even better dude. Hopefully CovCath will finally move on from years and years of mediocrity and force Krumps to step down, and allow Arlo to come in and take over the program that needs a much needed boost and rejuvenation. 

One of the best to ever do it on and off the field.

Congrats to Coach Arlo on this decision.
