| Summary: A physically mature, strong-bodied catcher whose tools show up once the game speeds up. Scott brings real bat speed and rotational strength to the box, with heavy wrists through the zone and the ability to drive the ball with authority when he commits. The offensive approach has leaned overly patient at times, working deep counts and letting hittable pitches go by, but when he turns it loose the contact quality stands out. There’s legitimate pull-side power in the tank, and batting-practice looks suggest more impact than the current batted-ball mix shows. Lifting the ball more consistently and finding the balance between selectivity and aggression are the clear offensive inflection points, because the raw ingredients point toward a power first profile with an improving hit tool if the approach tightens. Behind the plate, the foundation is strong and trending up. He moves better than the body suggests, with above-average lateral quickness, clean receiving actions, and a catch-and-throw package that plays in games. Arm strength has continued to tick forward, producing consistent sub-2.0 pop times with flashes into the 1.8 range, and the throws carry with accuracy. There’s enough athleticism to handle occasional corner-outfield looks if needed, but the defensive profile supports staying at catcher long term. The combination of physicality, arm strength, and offensive upside gives him a chance to push into early draft territory if the bat usage becomes more assertive and the in-game power begins to match the raw juice. | |||||||||||
