William Forrest "Wild Bill" Hutchison was the first professional baseball player to have played at Yale University. He went on to have a nine-year career and was possibly the most dominant pitcher in baseball from 1890-1892. During that three-year span, Hutchison led the league in wins, games, starts, complete games, innings pitched, and batters faced each season. He had 261 or more strikeouts in each of those three years, leading all major league pitchers with 314 in 1892.

Hutchison has four different poses in the N172 set. This example, which depicts the Chicago Pitcher at the plate, gingerly holding a bat as he awaits the pitch, is the only example of this pose to have been graded by SGC. Centering is slightly east and south on the canvas, with the bottom portion of the right side of the bottom line of text being sliced off with a diagonal bottom cut. Corners are sharp and edges are nice, and while the printing could stand to be a little darker, everything is still very clearly visible and legible. Though some staining on the back does not affect the front, it does keep this card from achieving an even higher grade than it already has.
