Although he hasn’t yet turned 30, Connor has been a fixture in the baseball community since his playing days at Acalanes where he was a 2 time NCS champion for the Dons. He moved on to Saint Mary’s starting in 2013, where he played 2B and outfield for the Gaels. After finishing his playing career, Connor began working in real estate, while also getting into coaching.

He took over for Clint Hoover as the head Varsity coach at Acalanes in late fall of 2019 - just in time to get hit with the pandemic a few games into his head coaching career. After regrouping last fall, Connor and I started working together and formed a winter program that allowed players the opportunity to get in some ‘real’ game action while leagues and tournaments were shut down. We played our games at Willow Pass park in Concord, and eventually Wilder Fields in Orinda once the city began granting permits to outside users.

After the 2021 spring season - we again worked together to provide a great summer program where he managed all of the incoming Acalanes freshman via Cowboys Baseball, and many of the rest of the Acalanes players joined Ballplayers on our 16 & 17U summer teams - where we played our home games at Acalanes HS.

This winter, Connor is looking forward to getting all of the fooball players back after they finish their season - hopefully after a deep run into the playoffs - and providing an opportunity for them to train and work on their skills ahead of the ‘22 spring baseball season.

After losing 12th round MLB draft pick & Vanderbilt commit Davis Diaz, as well as several other solid seniors, Connor is looking to develop the players he has and compete this spring. They’ve got a strong schedule lined up, and they will be fun to watch!
