2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Clinches playoff berth with save
PMiami Marlins
October 1, 2023
Scott picked up the save Saturday against Pittsburgh, striking out three over 1.1 innings while not allowing any hits or walks.
ANALYSIS
Scott entered the contest with two outs and two runners on in the bottom of the eighth and was able to get the final out to hold Miami's 6-3 lead. He returned in the ninth and struck out the side to nail down his 12th save of the season as the Marlins clinched their first playoff berth since 2020 with the win. Scott has now converted his last three save opportunities and has struck out the side in two of his last three appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
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.
