2025 Fantasy Outlook
Scott sustained the level of success he achieved in 2023, arguably turning in the finest season of his career thus far. The southpaw permitted just two earned runs from mid-April through the end of July, a span of 37 appearances and 38 innings (0.47 ERA) en route to NL Reliever of the Month honors for July and his first All-Star selection. Between Miami and San Diego, Scott established a new career-high with 22 saves. He added 11 holds and was only one win shy of double-digits, only boosting his fantasy value. Strikeouts dipped from 33.9 percent in 2023 to 28.6 percent, while his walk rate regressed to 12.2 percent, but both metrics were in line with his career averages. Scott's success can be attributed to inducing weak contact, as his 84.3 mph average exit velocity was a 100th percentile Statcast metric alongside his 27.5 percent hard-hit rate (99th percentile). He landed a four-year, $72 million contract in January and should be one of the most productive closers in baseball, assuming manager Dave Roberts utilizes him as a traditional closer. Though that's not guaranteed given the club's plethora of late-inning options. Read Past Outlooks
Will not be set closer
Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Thursday that while he anticipates Scott receiving plenty of save chances, he will not be the team's set closer, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Scott might very well be the favorite to nab the most saves for the Dodgers after inking a four-year, $72 million contract, but the team plans to play matchups in the late innings rather than have a dedicated closer. In addition to Scott, Kirby Yates, Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech (forearm) also figure to be in the mix for save opportunities.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2019
Scott finally put all the pieces together in 2023. The southpaw established career-highs across multiple categories, including 74 games played (2nd in the NL), 78.0 innings (6th among relievers), 9 wins (T-3rd) and 104 strikeouts (3rd). Perhaps most notably, he significantly improved his control, cutting his walk rate (7.8%) in half while producing a career-best 0.99 WHIP. He went from having a bottom five WHIP among relief pitchers in 2022, to 14th in the category. Scott's strikeout upside was already elite, but he improved with a personal best 33.9% K% and 17.8% SwStr%. His 26.1% K-BB% with 5th-highest among qualified relievers, while his 4.90 WPA was the highest. He also recorded double-digit saves (12) for the 2nd straight year. The biggest question mark is whether or not Scott can sustain this level of success? Strikeouts are a lock, but will the ratios plummet? It's a risk that might be worth taking, even with Scott yielding a much higher ADP in 2024 drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Blue Jays, Cubs involved late
According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com and Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Blue Jays and Cubs were among the final teams in the mix for Scott before he inked a four-year, $72 million contract with the Dodgers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander was the top reliever on the market and received broad interest before ultimately signing with the reigning champs. Scott made 72 regular-season appearances between Miami and San Diego last year and had a 1.75 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 84:36 K:BB.
