Known by the nickname "Wild Thing," what MLB reliever drew comparisons to Charlie Sheen's character in Major League for his control issues?

Like the character Ricky 'Wild Thing' Vaughn in Major League, Mitch Williams was a reliever with a high-90s fastball and a tendency to heave some pitches way out of the strike zone. Williams, who pitched for the Phillies, had a career high of 43 saves with the Phillies in 1993.
