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
Locks down fifth save
Scott earned the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers, allowing two hits while striking out one in a scoreless inning.
ANALYSIS
The Tigers made things interesting with a pair of two-out singles off Scott in the ninth inning before the left-hander struck out Riley Greene, who represented the winning run, closing out Miami's shutout victory. Scott hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 10.1 innings, striking out 12 in that span. He's 5-for-6 in save opportunities with a 2.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 19:17 K:BB across 18 innings this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be shipped out
Jon Heyman of the New York Post listed Scott as one of Miami's "most coveted" trade pieces with the team likely to continue offloading players in the coming months.
ANALYSIS
The Marlins have already shipped Luis Arraez to the Padres, and Scott should draw interest from teams needing bullpen help. The closer has four saves with a 2.57 ERA across 14 innings this season, though his command has been spotty, leading to a 15:14 K:BB. The Cubs and Orioles in particular could use help in the late innings and are likely to be in the mix.

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.
