BALLER MOVE: Add in all formats
ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mets rookie Christian Scott is off to a tremendous start in his big league career through two starts. The 24-year-old right-hander has an impressive 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 12 2/3 innings while striking out 14 hitters.
After dominating at Triple-A for the first month and a half of the season, Scott got called up to face Tampa Bay on May 11. He was a tough-luck loser in his second start against the Braves but managed to post eight strikeouts against a very good Atlanta lineup.

Scott's underlying numbers look great, too. His 28% strikeout rate is backed by a strong 16.8% swinging strike rate and he has a 108 Stuff+ rating. He's shown excellent control and command of his pitches, too, as his BB% is at only 6% through his first two starts.
He takes on the Miami Marlins in his next start who have one of the worst offenses in baseball. He has the talent to be a front-end starter in this league and he could be a huge asset in redraft formats this season. Add him wherever you can - as soon as possible!
