Featuring Mike Williams with the Philadelphia Phillies, this Mike Williams autographed 1993 Bowman #568 Philadelphia Phillies card showcases the right-hander during the season in which Philadelphia captured the National League pennant and advanced to the World Series.

Williams was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 14th round of the 1990 MLB Draft and reached the Major Leagues in 1992. Originally used as a starting pitcher, he became part of the Phillies rotation during his first several seasons in the majors.

In 1993, Williams made 12 appearances, including eight starts, for a memorable Phillies club that went 97-65 and captured the National League East title. He finished the regular season 3-1 and was included on Philadelphia's postseason roster as the Phillies defeated Atlanta in the NLCS before facing Toronto in the World Series.

Williams eventually transitioned from starter to reliever, a move that transformed his career. He developed into a successful closer and earned National League All-Star selections in 1999 with Pittsburgh and 2002 with Philadelphia. His 1999 season included 28 saves for the Pirates before a midseason trade to Houston, where he added 12 more for a career-high 40 saves.

Over a 12-season Major League career with the Phillies, Royals, Pirates and Astros, Williams recorded 144 saves and appeared in more than 500 games. The 1993 Bowman #568 is an appealing early-career and pennant-season issue for Philadelphia Phillies collectors, Mike Williams fans, 1993 Phillies collections, Bowman set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
