Mitchell Steven Williams (born November 17, 1964, in Santa Ana, California), nicknamed "Wild Thing", is a former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who appeared for six teams from 1986 to 1997.
Mitchell Steven Williams (出生於1964年11月17日，加州聖塔安那市)，綽號"野東西"，是前大聯盟後援投手，曾於1986年至1997年間效力於6支不同球隊。
Williams, a left-hander with a high-90s fastball but a penchant for terrible control, was largely effective, earning 192 saves in his 11 seasons including a career high of 43 in 1993. However, he is perhaps best known for a blown save after giving up a walk-off home run to Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth game of the 1993 World Series, which gave Toronto their second consecutive World Championship.
Williams是一位擁有超過95mph快速球，但是控球很糟糕的左投手，生涯11球季一共獲得194次救援成功，其中1993年的43次救援成功為個人生涯最多。然而他最為人所知的也許是在1993年世界大賽第六場比賽中，被多倫多藍鳥隊的Joe Carter打出再見全壘打而救援失敗，也讓藍鳥隊連續兩年奪得世界大賽冠軍。
