William Bradford Myers (born December 10, 1990) is an American former professional baseball outfielder and first baseman.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Tampa Bay Rays, San Diego Padres, and Cincinnati Reds.

Myers attended and played baseball at Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point, North Carolina.

[11] On December 9, 2012, Myers was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays (along with Jake Odorizzi, Patrick Leonard, and Mike Montgomery) in exchange for James Shields, Wade Davis, and a player to be named later (later chosen to be Elliot Johnson).

[13] Myers won the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2013, beating teammate and pitcher Chris Archer and Detroit shortstop José Iglesias.

[21] Myers returned from the DL on September 4 after a surgical procedure to shave down a bone spur irritating the tendon.

[22] Following his return, Myers began playing first base in addition to the outfield, with Melvin Upton Jr. and Travis Jankowski getting most of the starts in center after the trade of Will Venable.

The 15-run loss was the first time in Major League history that a team had a player hit three home runs and go on to lose by double digits.

[29] Myers was involved in a controversy in early September, when footage emerged during a live stream of teammate Carlos Asuaje playing the video game Fortnite involved Myers, chatting with Asuaje while playing, criticizing manager Andy Green.

[10] Over the offseason before the 2019 season, the Padres signed star third baseman Manny Machado,[31] which moved Wil Myers to the outfield.

Due to the emergence of corner outfielders Franmil Reyes and Hunter Renfroe in 2018 while Myers was injured, he was also involved in trade rumors, but nothing materialized.

[39] Due to injuries and the midseason acquisition of Juan Soto, Myers saw a drastic reduction in playing time, batting .261/.315/.398 with 7 home runs and 41 RBI in just 77 games.

However, Myers left his mark off the field when he paid for $1,000 worth of drinks in downtown San Diego following Game 4 of the NLDS, in which the Padres stunned and eliminated the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

[40] On November 7, 2022, the Padres declined their $20 million club option on Myers for the 2023 season and he became a free agent.

After a stint on the injured list in which he dealt with kidney stones and a left shoulder sprain, Myers was designated for assignment upon being activated on June 20, 2023.

During his tenure with the Padres, broadcaster Mark Grant nicknamed him "El Gallo" ("The Rooster" in Spanish), due to his hairstyle.
