Scott Ryan Williamson (born February 17, 1976 in Fort Polk North, Louisiana) is a right-handed relief pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization of Major League Baseball. He has played for the Cincinnati Reds (1999-2003), Boston Red Sox (2003-2004), Chicago Cubs (2005-2006), San Diego Padres (2006), and the Baltimore Orioles (2007).

In his rookie 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.[1] 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 nine-year career, Williamson has a 28-28 record with 510 strikeouts, a 3.36 ERA, and 55 saves in 439.3 innings pitched.

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 4. The New York Yankees signed him to a minor league contract on July 22. He was released on August 5 after going 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA in 4 games with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees.

In early February 2008, Williamson signed a one year minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants.[1] He will make $700,000 if he makes the Giants major league roster.[1]

After posting a 13.50 ERA with the Giants in spring training, Williamson was released on March 5, 2008. Scott was signed to a AAA contract by the Atlanta Braves in April [2]
