Biography
Elliot Bigelow was an American professional baseball player born in 1897, who made his mark in the Major Leagues during the late 1920s. His career spanned from April 18, 1929, to October 6, 1929, a relatively brief period in which he played in 100 games primarily as a position player. Bigelow demonstrated a solid batting prowess, finishing his season with a batting average of .284, which indicated his ability to make consistent contact with the ball.
Throughout his career, Bigelow recorded 60 hits, including one home run, and accumulated 26 RBIs, showcasing his capacity to contribute offensively to his team. He also demonstrated base-running acumen, notching one stolen base during his time in the majors.
