He was hired in December 2007 to be the pitching coach for the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization, under new manager Jerry Royster.

On March 13, 2010, Arroyo was inducted into the Mexican American Hall of Fame in a ceremony held at the Jose Rizal Community Center in Sacramento, California.
