William Henry "Bucky" Walters (April 19, 1909 – April 20, 1991) was an American professional baseball pitcher and third baseman who played in Major League Baseball from 1931 to 1950. As a pitcher, he was a six-time All-Star and the 1939 National League Most Valuable Player.
Walters began his MLB career as a position player, and appeared in 184 games (177 started) as a third baseman before he converted to full-time pitcher. Over the course of his 19-year big-league career, he played for the Boston Braves (1931–1932, 1950), Boston Red Sox (1933–1934), Philadelphia Phillies (1934–1938) and Cincinnati Reds (1938–1948). Walters later became a major league manager and pitching coach. He was born in Philadelphia, batted and threw right-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg).
