2025 Fantasy Outlook
Scott signed a minor-league contract with Houston last offseason and parlayed a strong spring into a spot in the Astros' Opening Day bullpen. The 32-year-old journeyman tweaked his arsenal to throw more four-seam fastballs (92.7 mph on average) and fewer sliders and sinkers; the latter two combining for 80-plus percent of his pitch mix over the previous two seasons. This drastic change - cutting the usage of both his slider and sinker by 25-plus percent - produced much better results. Scott's 25.2 percent strikeout rate wasn't remarkable, but still a career-best and above league average. Unfortunately, his walk rate ballooned to 12.4 percent, suggesting his 1.17 WHIP from 2024 likely won't be sustainable. There's room for Scott to improve, but he's likely to be used in low-leverage spots by manager Joe Espada in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Scott reported to Triple-A Reno and made his organizational debut Sunday, striking out a batter in a perfect inning of relief. Before catching on with Arizona, Scott had opened the season in Houston's bullpen. He posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB in 16.2 innings before the Astros removed him from their 40-man roster in mid-May.
