Playing career

Uhlman went to Redondo Union High School in Redondo Beach, California, where he played shortstop. Uhlman was selected in the 48th round of the 1992 Major League Baseball draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. [1] He declined to sign with the Blue Jays, and attended Los Angeles Harbor College. As a Freshman, Uhlman hit .337, being named 2nd Team All-Conference. As a sophomore, he was named First Team All-Conference. [2] The following year, Uhlman transferred to Nevada, where he batted .208 with 2 home runs and 18 RBI. After not playing in 1996, Uhlman returned to the lineup in 1997, hitting .358 with 8 homeruns and 52 RBI. For his efforts, he was named honorable mention All-Big West Conference. [3]

Coaching career

Uhlman began his coaching career as a graduate assistant with the Wolf Pack in 1998, while continuing to work on his degree. [4]

He returned to Los Angeles Harbor College as the head coach for the 2000 season, leading the team to a 25–14–1 record and a third place finish in the conference. The following year, the Seahawks won the South Coast Conference title, going 36–8–1, finishing 5th in the state tournament. Following that successful year, Uhlman was named a full time assistant for the Nevada Wolf Pack, working with hitters and infielders. [5] Following the 2009 season, he took a volunteer position with the recently revived Oregon Ducks baseball program working with hitters and infielders. In 2011, he took a paid position with the Kansas Jayhawks, being named the recruiting coordinator, hitting coach and baserunning/short game coordinator as well as coaching the corner infielders and serve as the third base coach. [6] He returned to Oregon in 2012, where he worked on their staff in various capacities, working as high as associate head coach until 2019.

In the summer of 2019, Uhlman was named the recruiting coordinator at Tulane, joining Travis Jewett's staff. On May 16, 2022, Jewett agreed to part ways with Tulane, and Uhlman was named the interim head coach for the remainder of the 2022 season. [7] He led the Green Wave to a 3–4 record for their final 7 games. On June 7, 2022, Uhlman was promoted to permanent head coach. [8] In 2023 he led Tulane back to the NCAA Regionals for the first time since 2016, joining Rick Jones and David Pierce as the only coaches to do so in their first seasons at Tulane. The Wave did it in unconventional fashion going 15-39 in the regular season but won the American Athletic Conference Tournament (first since 2005) over East Carolina to make the NCAA tournament in Baton Rouge. He is only the 4th coach in Tulane history to take his team to the NCAA Tournament.
