Christian Scott is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 14 (2024). Target Christian Scott as a top prospect free-agent add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New York Mets starting pitcher prospect Christian Scott had built up a reputation as a high strikeout pitcher coming into 2024. Over 2022 and 2023 in the minors, the righty struck out 184 batters in 146 1/3 IP (30.9% K%) and posted a solid 3.32 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP. In 2024, the former fifth-round draft pick upped his game, making five starts at Triple-A while posting a 3.20 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP with an astounding 38.3% K% before he was finally called up to the big league club.
Scott was solid, but not nearly as spectacular, in his five-game big league audition, posting a 3.90 ERA (3.50 FIP, 4.15 xFIP), 1.08 WHIP, and a 22.3% K% (25 K in 27 2/3 IP). Despite having relative success, the Mets opted to send him back to the minors for the time being.
Christian Scott's final line tonight for Triple-A Syracuse:

Since returning to the minors, Scott has made three more starts, posting a 2.08 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and a 30.2% K% (16:3 K:BB) over 13 IP. The Mets have won 12 of their last 15 games, so there isn't urgency to bring him back up, however, there's surely to be an inevitable injury or trade that will force the Mets to bring him back up (unless Scott himself were to be traded), so fantasy managers should be ready to pounce as he's already shown he can handle big league hitters. In deeper leagues, managers should consider stashing the 25-year-old in anticipation of his recall.
