Scott Wynne Feldman, born February 7 1983 in Kailua, Hawaii, is a rookie relief pitcher who currently plays for the Texas Rangers. He attended the College of San Mateo. A sidearm pitcher with a low-90's fastball, a hard slider and a changeup, he's more effective against right-handed hitters.

Feldman began the 2005 season with the Single-A Bakersfield Blaze, but was quickly promoted to the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders. He was a late-season call-up that year, making his debut against the Chicago White Sox on August 31, 2005. Feldman made eight appearances with the Rangers, compiling a record of 0-1 in 9.1 innings of work with an ERA of 0.91.

2006 saw Feldman bounce back and forth between the Rangers and their Triple-A affiliate, the Oklahoma RedHawks. As of September 3, 2006, he has appeared in 29 games, with a season ERA of 4.91.

The national spotlight shone briefly on Feldman on August 16 2006, when he sparked a bench-clearing brawl in the 9th inning of a game between the Rangers and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Tensions between the two division rivals were already high, as two Rangers starting pitchers — Adam Eaton and Vicente Padilla — had been ejected in previous games that month for throwing at Angels batters. Prior to Feldman taking the mound, two Angels hurlers (Kevin Gregg and Brendan Donnelly) had been thrown out of the game for hitting batsmen, as well as manager Mike Scioscia and bench coach Ron Roenicke. Feldman hit Angels second baseman Adam Kennedy with a pitch with only one out remaining in the game and his team up 9-3. Kennedy charged the mound, and what has been described as a "slap fight" [1] between the 6'6" Feldman and the light-hitting Kennedy ensued. Feldman was suspended for six games for ignoring the warnings of umpire Sam Holbrook.
