He was named the head baseball coach when the new Superior Senior High School opened in 1965 and remained the head coach until his retirement in 1988.
His coaching spanned 29 years, and his teams amassed a record of 327-127, winning six sectional tournaments and playing in six state tournaments.
Orlandi was inducted into the Superior/Douglas County Athletic Hall of Fame twice; in 2007 for accomplishments as a coach and again in 2014 recognizing the 1970 team in the Team Accomplishment Award, they went undefeated that year until the state tournament semifinal game.
