Biography

Bill Warwick was a professional baseball player born in 1897 who made his mark in the Major Leagues from 1921 to 1926. Primarily playing as a position player, Warwick appeared in 23 games during his brief career. He showcased his batting prowess with a career batting average of .304, reflecting his ability to hit effectively during the early years of the league, a time characterized by the transition from the deadball era to the more offensive-friendly environment of the mid-1920s. Over the course of his career, Warwick recorded 17 hits, including one home run, and drove in eight runs. While he did not steal any bases, his offensive contributions were notable given the limited number of games he played.
