Only the third baseball coach in ARCC history, Head Coach Tom Yelle begins his 22nd season with ARCC Spring 2008! Under Coach Yelle, the ARCC program continues its program of excellence and has proven to be one of the most competitive in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference, claiming second-place finishes in the state tournament in 1990 and 2004. During Yelle's career more than 65 players have gone on from Anoka-Ramsey to complete their four-year degrees and play baseball in their junior and senior years. A longtime hitting and fielding instructor in the Coon Rapids baseball community, Coach Yelle has been coaching players of high school age and beyond for 35 years. During the past 29 years, he has also served as the Head Coach of the Coon Rapids Post 334 American Legion ball club — considered one of the strongest programs in the Upper Midwest.
