2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Notches fourth save
Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Sunday to record his fourth save of the season in a win over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
The southpaw reined in his control issues for at least one appearance, firing eight of 11 pitches for strikes as he carved up the top of the Cubs' order. Scott's 3.38 ERA through 10.2 innings masks his struggles -- he has a 10:12 K:BB and an 0-3 record, although he's converted four of five save chances. With most of the rest of the Marlins' bullpen also off to shaky starts to the season, Scott is being given every opportunity to turn things around, and as yet a change at closer for Miami doesn't seem to be in the works.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mowing down hitters
Scott's 35.1 percent strikeout rate and .250 expected slugging allowed each rank in the top eight among all qualifying pitchers.
ANALYSIS
Despite being a potential fill-in for A.J. Puk amid elbow troubles, Scott has not recorded a save since April 29. Puk is now expected back shortly, which will further decrease the likelihood of high-leverage fantasy production from Scott. Nonetheless, the 28-year-old is baffling hitters. Scott throws only a slider and a fastball, but each is yielding an excellent .155 and .226 opponent batting average, respectively.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2019
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.
