James Ernest Vatcher (born May 27, 1966) is an American former professional baseball outfielder, who played parts of three seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) (1990–1992), for the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, and San Diego Padres. In February 1991, the San Diego Padres claimed Vatcher off waivers from the Braves. He spent all but 17 games in the minor leagues with the Las Vegas Stars. His contract was renewed before the 1992 season and he again spent almost the entire season in the minors. He appeared in only 13 games for the Padres, his last games at the big league level.
