Christian Scott

Scott may have improved his prospect status more than any other pitcher until his meteoric rise was curtailed by a UCL sprain in his right elbow. After first hoping to avoid surgery, Scott underwent a hybrid Tommy John and internal brace procedure in late September. He's slated to miss the entire 2025 campaign. Scott's breakout began in the second half of 2023 as he fanned 77 in 62 innings with Double-A Binghamton. He opened last season with Triple-A Syracuse, punching out 55 in 42.1 frames. He was less effective in 47.1 innings with the Mets, notching just 39 strikeouts while issuing eight homers. He'll still be just 27 years old when he takes the hill again in 2026, so he could be worth a stash in deep keeper and dynasty formats. Read Past Outlooks
