| Summary: A physically superior presence to his class peers, Scott brings a pro-ready build to a 2028 evaluation that most prospects don’t approach until they’re draft-eligible. The pitching side is where the long-term value lives, and the arm is as loud as any in the class regardless of age. A four-seamer sitting 94-97 and touching 100 with carry that jumps out of the hand gives the profile an immediately elite foundation — getting down the mound well with sound mechanics and a two-seamer variant with heavy arm-side run that gives hitters a second distinct fastball look at similar velocity. The secondary arsenal is already deeper than most arms twice his age. A slider with short, late-biting action and solid spin, a power curveball varying between two distinct shapes, and a changeup with fade that mirrors arm speed and rolls out of the hand with genuine feel — five offerings with good feel for all of them from a 16-year-old give the mid-rotation floor and frontline ceiling a legitimate foundation to build from. The ability to perform at high-profile events across a heavy schedule without apparent fatigue is an additional marker that speaks to the physical and mental makeup. The two-way background adds intrigue — a powerful right-handed hitter who has provided some of the biggest individual moments at events on the position player side — but the pitching profile is what drives the evaluation and where the ceiling is highest. A 2028 arm already operating at this velocity level with genuine secondary feel is a profile that will generate significant attention with every subsequent look. | |||||||||||
