Christian Scott is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 6 (2024). Target Christian Scott as a top prospect free-agent add for fantasy baseball.
PROSPECT: Christian Scott, SP, New York Mets
ERIC CROSS' LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: #6
CALL-UP ETA: May
ANALYSIS: Through 25 ⅓ innings, Christian Scott has a 3.20 ERA and 0.71 WHIP with 36 strikeouts. So, you are probably asking yourself: is he really worth stashing with a 3.20 ERA?
Well, Scott has allowed nine earned runs and seven home runs. All of the damage done to him has come off the long ball, which is his kryptonite. Compared to last season, Scott had a 0.73 HR/9, while this year he sports a 2.61 HR/9. Besides this one knock (which is why the Mets are hesitant to promote him), Scott has been outstanding. He is riding an incredible 44.2% K rate and .152 BABIP.
If Scott can keep the ball in the yard, he should be promoted relatively quickly, as the current New York rotation leaves a lot to be desired. Adrian Houser has an 8.37 ERA and is holding on to the final rotation spot by a thread. The Mets want to be careful with Scott, especially if he is having trouble preventing home runs. Moving him up to the majors could hinder his development if he is serving up the long ball.
Christian Scott is generating a fair amount of buzz among Mets fans.
The @Mets No. 6 prospect is an efficient strike-thrower and is turning heads 👀

Pay close attention to Scott's next handful of starts with Triple-A Syracuse. If he can go a few games without allowing a home run (or at least decrease the rate he is currently allowing them), he could be on the 7 Train to Citi Field before we know it.
