Another Tommy John survivor, Feldman pitched just seven innings in 2004 but impressed the Rangers in instructional league that fall by filling the zone with strike after strike. He opened 2005 with a dominating April in high Class A before establishing himself as a force against righthanders in Double-A. Feldman's fastball velocity increased from 88-90 mph early in the year to 91-93 by the time he received a mid-August callup to Texas. His fastball has plus life and good sink, inducing bushels of groundballs. He has a loose, whippy arm and a deceptive sidearm delivery. He shows plus-plus command against righties, moving the ball around the zone but typically keeping it down. Feldman complements his fastball with an average sweeping slider. He also has a changeup to employ against lefthanders as a show pitch. He still needs to improve at getting lefties out, and the Rangers think he eventually will become a middle reliever. For now, he figures to be a right-on-right specialist in Texas.
