2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 6-foot-4 righty with pinpoint command, Scott had a 3.4 percent walk rate in 12 starts at Double-A. Scott transitioned from mostly pitching in relief in college to slowly getting stretched out in 2022 and then building up to 87.2 innings as a true starter last season, mostly at Double-A. He was too old (turns 25 in June) and accurate to meet resistance in the lower levels and managed a 2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 77:8 K:BB in 62 innings against Double-A hitters. Scott has yet to log a true starter's workload over a full season, but he also hasn't gone through much adversity. He sits at 94 mph with his four-seamer, but the pitch has good life and can touch as high as 98 mph. His slider and changeup are viable second and third offerings, but his fastball can be his top bat-misser thanks to his ability to place it where he wants. Given his age and command, Scott could move quickly to the majors this summer. Read Past Outlooks

Up as sixth starter initially

May 3, 2024
Scott is being promoted from Triple-A Syracuse to give the Mets a six-man rotation while they play 26 games in 27 days, and manager Carlos Mendoza wouldn't commit to giving the 24-year-old right-hander more than one start, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Scott's readiness for the majors is acknowledged by the organization, but Mendoza's reluctance may aim to ease pressure on him. It could also imply a competition between Scott and Adrian Houser for the fifth starter role. Despite Scott's impressive stats in Syracuse, he's given up seven homers. Houser struggles with an 8.16 ERA and 1.85 WHIP, making him the rotation's weak link. Tylor Megill's return from a shoulder injury may also influence the decision. If Scott performs well, the Mets are likely to keep him around.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could boost big-league rotation
PNew York Mets  AAA
April 30, 2024
Mike Puma of the New York Post believes the Mets should call up Scott to give a boost to their rotation.
ANALYSIS
The Mets have been reluctant to promote Scott early this season, but he's pitched well for Syracuse with a 3.20 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB across 25.1 innings. The 24-year-old righty's only real blemish is the long ball, as he's given up at least one homer in all five starts. Adrian Houser has surrendered 14 runs over his past two starts and likely doesn't have much of a leash to remain in the New York rotation, and another poor outing could prompt the organization to bring up Scott for his MLB debut.
