The 6-foot-4 righty started 2024 at Triple-A, and in three starts, he's got 26 strikeouts to just three walks in 14 1/3 IP. The head-scratcher is the five home runs he's allowed, which is already tied for the amount he gave up all last season.
Assuming he irons out that issue, we should see him in Flushing before June. While Jose Butto has pitched well in his two starts, they were against the Tigers and Royals, so let's see what he does against a more formidable opponent. Scott is probably an upgrade over all of Butto, Sean Manaea, and Adrian Houser. If the Mets want to compete, they don't want to roll with this rotation all season.
