Scott Christopher Proctor (born January 2, 1977) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 2004 and 2011 for the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Atlanta Braves.

Proctor was drafted in the 17th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft by the New York Mets out of Martin County High School, but decided to attend Florida State University, where he played for the Florida State Seminoles baseball team under head coach Mike Martin.

[1][2] In 1998, Proctor was drafted in the fifth round by the Los Angeles Dodgers and assigned to the Yakima Bears to start his professional career.

Proctor made his Major League Baseball debut for the Yankees on April 20, 2004, against the Chicago White Sox, working 2+1⁄3 innings in relief and allowing 2 earned runs.

[citation needed] Proctor pitched in five games in the 2006 MLB postseason for the Yankees: two against Los Angeles and three against Detroit.

In May 2007, Yankees first baseman Josh Phelps had slid hard into Seattle catcher Kenji Johjima.

Proctor then threw inside to Yuniesky Betancourt and was ejected, along with Yankees manager Joe Torre.

'"[9][10] On July 31, 2007, Proctor was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for infielder Wilson Betemit.

However, he pitched much better in the month of September, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers win the National League West Division title.

In January 2009, Proctor signed a one-year contract with the Florida Marlins worth $750,000, with an additional $250,000 in incentives.

When the pain remained, and ligament fraying was found, he underwent Tommy John surgery on May 12, 2009, and missed the entire 2009 season.

Proctor picked up the loss in Game 162, surrendering a walkoff homerun to Evan Longoria that propelled the Rays to the postseason.
