2008-09-13 A's Game (10) Rangers SP Scott Feldman

Scott Wynne Feldman (born February 7, 1983, in Kailua, Hawaii) is a 6' 5" starting pitcher who plays for the Texas Rangers.

Feldman attended Burlingame High School in Burlingame, California. A left-handed hitter, Feldman led the Peninsula Athletic League in batting average as a Burlingame junior, and nearly matched the feat as a senior.

Feldman attended the College of San Mateo. There, in two seasons he went 25-2 (his only losses were in the state final four), had a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 8 to 1, and a 1.30 ERA.[2] He earned Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year honors both as a freshman in 2002 and sophomore in 2003, and was an All American both years.

Feldman was a 41st round pick of the Houston Astros in the 2002 draft, and then a 30th round pick by the Texas Rangers in the 2003 draft.

Feldman is a sidearm pitcher with a low-90's fastball, a hard slider with extreme downward movement, and a changeup. He is more effective against right-handed hitters.

@BennyI He used to be. Feldman was signed and immediately made into a reliever because he was sidearm. To my memory, he made zero starts as a minor leaguer and spent his first two seasons with Texas as a reliever because of his delivery, which was sidearm to the fullest, ala Jeff Nelson. One of the pitching coaches in the Texas system got the idea to raise his arm angle and make him a starter, and as they say, the rest is history.
