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
Not clear-cut closer
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said following the team's extra-inning loss to the Mets on Monday that Los Angeles currently has "no dedicated closer," Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
ANALYSIS
Though it wasn't a save situation, Scott struggled again Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in the 10th inning to take the loss. Over the lefty's past seven outings, he's given up 12 runs (10 earned) across six frames while taking two losses and blowing three of four save chances. It's unclear how Roberts will manage ninth-inning opportunities moving forward, and while Scott may continue to notch save chances in certain matchups, more looks could go the way of Alex Vesia (who has the team's most recent save, which took place Friday versus the Yankees) and Kirby Yates (hamstring), who is on the IL but appears to be nearing a return. Michael Kopech (shoulder) racked up six regular-season saves with Los Angeles after joining the team in late July last year and could also be an option for ninth-inning work down the line; however, he hasn't yet pitched for the Dodgers this year and has an 8.53 ERA through eight minor-league rehab appearances, so he probably will be eased into high-leverage work after being activated off the IL.

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.
