2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Locks down second save
PMiami Marlins
April 16, 2024
Scott earned the save Tuesday against the Giants, working around a pair of walks while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
Scott didn't make things easy on himself, issuing a pair of one-out walks before striking out Thairo Estrada and inducing a game-ending pop fly from Wilmer Flores to grab his second save of the year. It was ultimately a nice bounce-back outing from Scott after the left-hander allowed three runs while blowing a save against Atlanta in his last appearance Sunday. Overall, Scott is 0-3 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and an alarming 25.6 percent walk rate through his first 8.2 innings this year. While the left-hander remains the top closing option in Miami, Scott hasn't seen many save chances with the Marlins struggling out of the gate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mowing down hitters
PMiami Marlins
June 2, 2023
Scott's 35.1 percent strikeout rate and .250 expected slugging allowed each rank in the top eight among all qualifying pitchers.
ANALYSIS
Despite being a potential fill-in for A.J. Puk amid elbow troubles, Scott has not recorded a save since April 29. Puk is now expected back shortly, which will further decrease the likelihood of high-leverage fantasy production from Scott. Nonetheless, the 28-year-old is baffling hitters. Scott throws only a slider and a fastball, but each is yielding an excellent .155 and .226 opponent batting average, respectively.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2019
Scott was traded to Miami a few days before Opening Day and it didn't take long for him to emerge as the Marlins' top lefty. He struck out 90 over 62.2 innings for a 31.1% strikeout rate that was 25th among relief pitchers. However, Scott still had trouble locating his slider and 97 mph fastball. His 15.9% walk rate was worst among qualified relievers, while his 1.61 WHIP was bottom five for the category. Despite these persistent issues, Scott managed to record a career-high 20 saves for the Marlins, serving as the team's closer for a three-month stretch during the summer. Dylan Floro took over for the final month, though, and seems like the logical favorite to close to begin 2023. Scott may still get the occasional chance, but he continues to allow far too many baserunners to get another extended look as closer -- unless new manager, Skip Schumaker, values his strikeouts above all else.
Scott had lackluster results in each of his first three years in the majors, but he was much more effective in 2020, posting a 1.31 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 25 relief appearances. His 3.97 xFIP was more on par with his mark from 2019, but the southpaw still has a solid 96.5 mph average fastball velocity, and he posted a 26.7 K% in 2020. Much of his success last year stemmed from his ability to limit meaningful contact. After allowing a 43.8% hard-hit rate in 2019, that mark fell to 22.0% last year, along with a 4.0% barrel rate. Despite his success, Scott has struggled with command, recording a walk rate above 11.6% in each of his first four seasons in the majors. His improvement in limiting meaningful contact makes him a strong contender to earn save chances for Baltimore, but the Orioles tend to use a closer-by-committee approach and only recorded 11 saves as a team during the 60-game season in 2020.
Scott made 53 appearances out of the bullpen for the struggling Orioles last season, finishing with an unimpressive 5.40 ERA. His underlying numbers suggest that there's a decent reliever there, however. The young lefty's strong 31.7% strikeout rate mostly offset a fairly poor 11.7% walk rate, leading to a 3.40 FIP. The high-strikeout, high-walk profile is in line with Scott's minor-league numbers as well as his prospect reports. With a fastball that averaged 97.4 mph and a slider that sat at 89.0 mph, the whiffs are certainly no surprise. Like many young relievers, he shows high-leverage potential if he can just get the walks under control, though command and control can take years to develop for pitchers with such electric stuff, if it ever develops at all. Scott is a name worth knowing should the closer job in Baltimore become up for grabs.
