NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University baseball head coach Travis Jewett announced today the addition of Adam Core as the Green Wave's new volunteer assistant coach.
"We could not be more excited to welcome Adam Core to our team," Jewett said. "Adam is everything that we want on our staff. He brings great energy and enthusiasm for the game, but most importantly, he has a strong desire to develop our players. We can't wait to work with Adam on a day-to-day basis and we are thrilled to bring him into our program."
Core joins the Tulane staff after serving as an assistant coach at Pensacola State for the 2020 campaign where he helped guide the Pirates to 13 wins.
Prior to his tenure at Pensacola State, Core spent the 2019 season as a volunteer assistant coach at Southern Illinois University. During his time with the Salukis, Core assisted with the hitting program and served as the primary catchers coach, while also coaching first base. Prior to SIU, he served as a graduate assistant coach at Lincoln Memorial University in the fall of 2018.
In the summer of 2019, Core was the head coach of the Spearfish Sasquatch, a collegiate team in the Expedition League in Spearfish, South Dakota. The Sasquatch finished the season 28-33 (18-11 in the first half) and led the league with 192 stolen bases.
A Nashville, Tennessee native, Core played collegiately at Dyersburg State and Harris Stowe State University. While at HSSU, he was a team captain and Academic All-Conference selection. He graduated magna cum laude from HSSU with a degree in business administration in 2017.Â
In addition, Core was a student manager at the University of Alabama under former head coach Mitch Gaspard.
He also coached at the prep level with the Knights Baseball Organization, based out of Nashville where he served as the head coach at one of the nation's premier travel baseball organizations.
Core replaces Alonzo Wright, who joined the team this past summer. Wright left the team to take a position as a scout with the Boston Red Sox organization.
