William McKinley Batsch (May 18, 1892 – December 31, 1963) was an American Major League Baseball player who pinch hit in one game for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916.
Batsch is one of only five players to walk in his only major league plate appearance and never play the field, the most famous of which is Eddie Gaedel.
On September 9, 1916, the hometown Pirates were down 3–0 in the bottom of the eighth to the Chicago Cubs when Batsch came on to bat for pitcher Erv Kantlehner.
Drawing a base on balls on a 3-2 pitch from Chicago hurler Hippo Vaughn, Batsch went to second on a ground out by Hooks Warner.
Fritz Mollwitz then rifled the ball to catcher Jimmy Archer, who tagged Batsch out at the plate, ending the 24-year-old's lone MLB appearance.
