Scott Ryan Williamson (born February 17, 1976 in Fort Polk North, Louisiana) is a right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. He has played for the Cincinnati Reds (1999-2003), Boston Red Sox (2003-04) and Chicago Cubs (since 2005).
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. 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.
In a seven-year career, Williamson has a 25-24 record with 429 strikeouts, a 2.98 ERA, and 55 saves in 371.1 innings pitched.
