Scott Ryan Williamson (born February 17, 1976 in Fort Polk North, Louisiana) is a right-handed relief pitcher for the New York Yankees. He has played for the Cincinnati Reds (1999-2003), Boston Red Sox (2003-04), Chicago Cubs (2005-2006), and San Diego Padres (2006).

In his 1999 inaugural season, Williamson went 12-7 with 107 strikeouts, a 2.41 earned run average and 19 saves; made the All-Star team, and earned Rookie of the Year honors.

Williamson is an overhand pitcher with a good command of his breaking ball. He also has a 98 MPH fastball, a slider, and a hard split-finger, which many experts believe led him to undergoing Tommy John surgery early in the 2001 season.^{[citation needed]} Williamson holds runners close through repeated moves to first and that more than compensates for a slow move. He is a solid fielder who does not get rattled.^{[citation needed]}

In a seven-year career, Williamson has a 27-28 record with 494 strikeouts, a 3.33 ERA, and 55 saves in 425 innings pitched.

He was a reliever for the San Diego Padres. He was traded to the Padres from the Cubs on July 22, 2006 for Minor League pitchers Fabian Jimenez and Joel Santo. He last played for the Baltimore Orioles during the 2007 season. He had one stint on the disabled list in April 2007, and was designated for assignment by the Orioles on July 4th. The New York Yankees signed him to a minor league contract on July 22. He is currently pitching for the Yankees' AAA team.
