Christian Scott Seeing Dip In Strikeouts In Second Major League Stint
4 months agoNew York Mets starting pitching prospect Christian Scott has struggled to generate strikeouts at an elite rate in the big leagues as he did in the minor leagues earlier this summer. Through his past three starts in the majors, Scott has logged 15 ⅔ innings to the tune of a 5.17 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with only 10 punchouts. However, earlier this summer at Triple-A, the Florida product struck out 55 batters in just 42 frames. In addition, last season at Double-A, the right-hander tallied 77 strikeouts in just 62 innings. The 25-year-old's workload is also being monitored by the Mets, which could play a role in his second-half production. Scott is still worth holding onto in standard leagues as he has showcased elite strikeout potential in the past, but his ceiling may remain limited as he continues to get accustomed to the big leagues.
