2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 6-foot-4 righty with pinpoint command, Scott had a 3.4 percent walk rate in 12 starts at Double-A. Scott transitioned from mostly pitching in relief in college to slowly getting stretched out in 2022 and then building up to 87.2 innings as a true starter last season, mostly at Double-A. He was too old (turns 25 in June) and accurate to meet resistance in the lower levels and managed a 2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 77:8 K:BB in 62 innings against Double-A hitters. Scott has yet to log a true starter's workload over a full season, but he also hasn't gone through much adversity. He sits at 94 mph with his four-seamer, but the pitch has good life and can touch as high as 98 mph. His slider and changeup are viable second and third offerings, but his fastball can be his top bat-misser thanks to his ability to place it where he wants. Given his age and command, Scott could move quickly to the majors this summer. Read Past Outlooks

September 30, 2024
The Mets transferred Scott (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Joey Lucchesi, who is making a spot start Monday in Atlanta. Scott will likely be sidelined until 2026 after requiring a hybrid Tommy John surgery and internal brace procedure on his pitching elbow.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 120 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing return to majors?
PNew York Mets
June 25, 2024
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that there's a "good chance" Scott rejoins the big-league rotation in advance of the All-Star break, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Friday's series opener against the Astros will start a stretch of 17 straight days with a game for the Mets, and Scott could work as a sixth starter to create some rest for the rotation. The 25-year-old was called up for his MLB debut in May and pitched well in five starts with a 3.90 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 27.2 innings. With the trade deadline looming and the Mets positioned to potentially be sellers, Scott could be up in the majors for good this time around.
