A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Coleman was a major leaguer whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different from that of Moonlight Graham. Coleman debuted on June 23, 1890, and was charged with eight runs (including four earned) on four hits with three walks and two strikeouts in 1+2⁄3 innings. He took the loss (21.60 earned run average) and never appeared in another major league game.

Coleman died at the age of 54 in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
