John Corcoran

John Corcoran was a professional baseball player active in the late 19th century, a period characterized by the transition from the deadball era towards a more modern style of play. Born in 1873, he made his Major League debut on September 17, 1895. Corcoran played a total of six games during his brief career, concluding on September 21, 1895. As a position player, he recorded three hits across his limited appearances, finishing with a batting average of 0.15. Despite not hitting any home runs, he managed to drive in one run and did not attempt any stolen bases. Corcoran's time in the Major Leagues was short-lived, and he remains a lesser-known figure in baseball history. His career unfolded during an era when the sport was evolving rapidly, with a focus on strategy and defense rather than the offensive fireworks that would come to define the game in the following decades. Although his statistical contributions were modest, Corcoran's participation in the league reflects the diverse tapestry of players who shaped the early years of professional baseball.
