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.
