William Timothy Lollar (born March 17, 1956) is a former professional baseball pitcher. He played all or part of seven seasons in Major League Baseball from 1980 to 1986 for the New York Yankees (1980), San Diego Padres (1981–84), Chicago White Sox (1985) and Boston Red Sox (1985–86), primarily as a starting pitcher.
Lollar played collegiately for the University of Arkansas. He was drafted by the Yankees in the 4th round of the 1978 Major League Baseball Draft and was immediately assigned to the Double-A West Haven Yankees, just two steps below the majors. Lollar played 28 games as an infielder in 1978 and 65 games as an infielder in 1979 for the West Haven Yankees both years. He made his major league debut in 1980 as a pitcher.
Lollar debuted for the Yankees on June 26, 1980. He made 14 appearances for New York, including one start. He went 1–0 with 2 saves and a 3.34 earned run average. Lollar was traded to the Padres near the end of spring training along with three other players for outfielder Jerry Mumphrey and pitcher John Pacella.
Lollar spent the strike-shortened 1981 season splitting time between the starting rotation and the bullpen for the Padres. He had a record of 2–8 in 24 games, including 11 starts, and an ERA of 6.10.
In 1982, Lollar was installed in the starting rotation permanently. He rewarded the Padres with a career-high 16 wins while lowering his ERA to 3.13. He was in turn rewarded by being made the Padres' Opening Day starter in 1983, but he slumped badly, posting a record of 7–12 with an ERA of 4.61.
