May 2021 Report
Evaluator: Trevor Hooth
Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 187 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2018 Round 1
RuleV: 2022r
Physical Description: Broad shoulder, but skinny frame all around. There looks to still be room to add weight.
Hit: Slightly closed stance. Stands tall at the plate. Hands start up by his head. Small step to trigger the swing. Slight bat wrap sometimes, but quick hands. Shows ability to go with the pitch. Dead red hitter, will swing and miss on offspeed in the zone. Covers the zone well, but lacks consistent feel for barrel. Has an understanding of the strike zone and doesn't often chase bad pitches. Not afraid to work counts. His upper body motions are fairly stiff, but he's still able to generate some good bat speed. Will benefit from improvements in reading spin. Inconsistencies likely cap this grade as a fringe tool. Grade: 45
Power: Most of his power is to the pull side at this point. His pop plays better inside the park, but based on the sheer number of flyballs he hits he'll likely hit a handful of homers too. There is potentially more power to be had as the frame fills out more, but likely more of an extra bases threat. Which plays with his speed. Grade: 50
Field: Has the range to stick up the middle, largely due to his speed. He can cover a lot of ground. His reads and routes are solid. Grade: 50
Arm: Can make all the throws with enough accuracy to be considered a true centerfielder defensively. Grade: 45
Run: Long strides and legs cycle through quickly. Upper body is awkward through the running motion. Uses speed well on both sides of the ball, including a lack of fear to stretch out hits for an extra base. Grade: 70
Overall: Scott has competed at each level the Marlins have placed him at thanks to a wealth of natural ability. He's shown glimpses of just about everything, including pop at the plate. What's really going to decide the profile is getting more consistent with his contact. His speed will more than play, and if all works out could see him hitting atop a lineup. Without more consistency finding the barrel, and finding it against offspeed pitches, then that's not likely to happen. His skills are very raw, but they are all there for him to be a solid contributor at the highest level.
