BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott has performed well through his first four major league starts and is worth adding in standard leagues. Through 22 innings, the 24-year-old holds a 3.97 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a stellar 21:5 K:BB ratio.

Scott began the season making his Triple-A debut and showcased his elite strikeout potential. He struck out 36 batters across 25 ⅓ innings and allowed just six free passes. However, he struggled to keep the ball in the yard with a hefty seven allowed home runs through just five total starts.
This problem has begun to show in the majors, as he has a 1.2 HR/9, which places him in the bottom half of all starting pitchers. However, he has posted a stellar WHIP ratio in the majors so far, and that is thanks to his elite control. Currently, he holds a 5.4% walk rate in the major leagues, which is even better than the 6.4% walk rate he held in Triple-A earlier this spring.
Scott will greatly improve your WHIP total and should be able to tally more strikeouts as he gets accustomed to the major leagues. However, do not count on him to improve your ERA, as the long ball is his kryptonite.
