Alan Duane Embree (born January 23, 1970 in The Dalles, Oregon) is a middle relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who currently plays for the San Diego Padres. Previously, Embree played with the Cleveland Indians (1992-1996), Atlanta Braves (1998), Arizona Diamondbacks (1998), San Francisco Giants (1999-2001), Chicago White Sox (2001), San Diego Padres (2002), Boston Red Sox (2002-2005), and New York Yankees (2005). He bats and throws left-handed.

Embree relies primarily on two pitches: a 90 to 95 MPH four-seam fastball, and a sharp slider that is very effective when he can keep it down. He is particularly difficult for left-handed hitters, and he is not afraid to throw inside. An excellent fielder, Embree has made only two errors in a 11-year career. He has a good move to first that keeps runners close.

From 1992 through 2004, Embree has posted a 28-28 record with a 4.38 ERA and seven saves in 568 games.

2005

After a terrible 2005 season, which he was 1-4 with a 7.65 ERA in 43 outings, Embree was designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox in the middle of July. He was signed by the New York Yankees on July 30 to replace Buddy Groom who was designated for assignment.
