Before being drafted by San Diego Padres, he was a star pitcher at Oregon’s high school.
Because he struggled to get the ball over the plate in the early stages of his career, he was nicknamed “Wild Thing”.
Mitchell Steven Williams (born November 17, 1964), nicknamed “Wild Thing”, is a former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for six teams from 1986 to 1997. He was also a studio analyst for the MLB Network from 2009 to 2014.
The Cubs dealt Williams to the Philadelphia Phillies at the start of the 1991 campaign. That year, he won 12 games, including eight in August, and saved 30 for the Phillies. However, he suffered eight losses in 1992 and seven more in 1993. Still, manager Jim Fregosi chose Williams as the team’s closer entering the World Series against the defending champion Toronto Blue Jays.
Williams retired from baseball to operate a bowling establishment outside Philadelphia. Although Phillies fans continued to blame Williams for the 1993 World Series loss for several years afterward, the fact that he did not make excuses for the blown save, shift the blame to others, or hide from the media or the city of Philadelphia caused many fans to ultimately forgive him and embrace him once again as a local figure.
