Justin Bridgman, who served as graduate manager at Arizona in the spring of 2020 following a four-year playing career at Nevada and two seasons in the Minor Leagues, was hired as a volunteer assistant coach at Cal Poly in July 2020.
A graduate of Damonte Ranch High School in Reno, Nevada, Bridgman became a starter as a true freshman at Nevada and appeared in 203 games for the Wolf Pack, hitting .311 with 33 doubles and 75 RBIs with 33 steals. He was primarily a second baseman early in his career with the Wolf Pack before becoming a shortstop as a junior and senior.
Earning second-team All-Mountain West Conference honors as a senior with a .313 average and named to the All-Mountain West Tournament Team as a junior after hitting .351, Bridgman was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 28th round in 2017 and played for four teams in the minors -- Princeton, Hudson Valley, Charlotte and Bowling Green -- hitting .281 with 11 doubles and 34 RBIs in 100 games.
After his playing career ended, Bridgman served as a broadcaster for Reno Aces games in 2019 before he was hired to serve as Arizona's graduate manager for the 2020 season, which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bridgman hit .445 as a senior at Damonte Ranch High and stole a school-record 42 bases. He earned first-team Reno Gazette Journal All-North, first-team All-Conference Division I Northern-Sierra and second-team All-American honors at second base.
Bridgman is a 2017 graduate of Nevada with a degree in economics.
