Over the course of his career, Coleman appeared in 12 games, showcasing his skills primarily at the plate with a total of 9 hits. He accumulated 4 runs batted in, resulting in a batting average of .243.

While his career was limited in scope, he remained a part of the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball history, representing the challenges and opportunities faced by players during that time. After his last game on June 1, 1912, Coleman faded from the spotlight, but his brief appearance in the major leagues serves as a reminder of the many players who contributed to the growth and evolution of baseball.
