Donald Glenn Elliott (born September 20, 1968) is a former right-handed Major League Baseball relief pitcher who played from 1994 to 1995 for the San Diego Padres.

In a June game against the Sumpter Flyers Elliott struck out a franchise record 17 in 7 2/3 innings.

On July 18, his was traded to the Padres with Melvin Nieves and minor leaguer Vince Moore for Fred McGriff.

Neither pitcher fared very well in that game, with Elliott lasting only 22⁄3 innings, giving up two earned runs, four hits and two walks.

Due to a shoulder injury suffered during the 1994 season, Elliott made only one appearance in the majors in 1995, on September 19.

[3] Elliott showed Hoffman his usual grip of pinching his index finger and thumb together at the point of release.

Hoffman perfected this pitch and credits this usual grip as helping him master one of the nastiest change-ups in the major leagues.

Thome, Hoffman and Elliott's former Triple A teammate Chipper Jones, were all inducted into the 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame together.

[1] Elliott was a high school teammate of former Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Tommy Jeter and New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte.
