William Forrest "Wild Bill" Hutchinson (December 17, 1859 – March 19, 1926) was an American professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of nine seasons (1884, 1889–1895, 1897) with the Kansas City Cowboys, Chicago White Stockings/Colts, and St. Louis Browns. He was the National League wins leader for three straight seasons (1890–1892) and the strikeout leader in 1892 with Chicago. For his career, he compiled a 182–163 record in 376 appearances, with a 3.59 earned run average and 1,235 strikeouts.[1] He is the most recent player in baseball history to pitch 500 innings in a single season, a feat which he last accomplished in 1892.
