Scott David Schoeneweis [SHOW-en-weiss] (born October 2, 1973, in Long Branch, New Jersey) is an American left-handed Major League Baseball relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. In the five seasons from 2003–07, Schoeneweis allowed only one home run to a left-handed batter. Left-handed hitters batted .209, with a .264 slugging percentage and .293 on base percentage, in 227 plate appearances against him from 2005–06, and then only .207 with a .241 slugging percentage in 2007. In 2008, he was even stingier—lefties batted only .178 against him. That was second-best among all major league left-handers.
