Player Outlook
Tanner Scott finally put all the pieces together in 2023. The southpaw established career-highs across multiple categories, including 74 games played (2nd in the NL), 78.0 innings (6th among relievers), 9 wins (T-3rd) and 104 strikeouts (3rd). Perhaps most notably, he significantly improved his control, cutting his walk rate (7.8%) in half while producing a career-best 0.99 WHIP. He went from having a bottom five WHIP among relief pitchers in 2022, to 14th in the category. Scott's strikeout upside was already elite, but he improved with a personal best 33.9% K% and 17.8% SwStr%. His 26.1% K-BB% with 5th-highest among qualified relievers, while his 4.90 WPA was the highest. He also recorded double-digit saves (12) for the 2nd straight year. The biggest question mark is whether or not Scott can sustain this level of success? Strikeouts are a lock, but will the ratios plummet? It's a risk that might be worth taking, even with Scott yielding a much higher ADP in 2024 drafts.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Notches fourth save

    Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Sunday to record his fourth save of the season in a win over the Cubs. The southpaw reined in his control issues for at least one appearance, firing eight of 11 pitches for strikes as he carved up the top of the Cubs' order. Scott's 3.38 ERA through 10.2 innings masks his struggles -- he has a 10:12 K:BB and an 0-3 record, although he's converted four of five save chances. With most of the rest of the Marlins' bullpen also off to shaky starts to the season, Scott is being given every opportunity to turn things around, and as yet a change at closer for Miami doesn't seem to be in the works.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Picks up save No. 3

    Scott earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning during Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs. He struck out one and allowed two hits and no walks. Bryan De La Cruz's two-run homer in the top of the ninth gave Miami a 3-2 lead, and Scott closed out the bottom of the frame to finish off the comeback despite giving up singles to the first two batters he faced. The Marlins closer has struggled with his command early in the season, as Saturday's outing was just his third time in nine appearances without issuing a walk. Scott is 3-for-4 in save opportunities and has a 3.72 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 9:12 K:BB across 9.2 innings.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Locks down second save

    Scott earned the save Tuesday against the Giants, working around a pair of walks while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning. Scott didn't make things easy on himself, issuing a pair of one-out walks before striking out Thairo Estrada and inducing a game-ending pop fly from Wilmer Flores to grab his second save of the year. It was ultimately a nice bounce-back outing from Scott after the left-hander allowed three runs while blowing a save against Atlanta in his last appearance Sunday. Overall, Scott is 0-3 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and an alarming 25.6 percent walk rate through his first 8.2 innings this year. While the left-hander remains the top closing option in Miami, Scott hasn't seen many save chances with the Marlins struggling out of the gate.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Blows first save

    Scott (0-3) took the loss Sunday and blew his first save of the season, giving up three runs on two hits and a walk in the ninth inning against Atlanta. He struck out one. Called upon to protect a 7-6 lead, Scott instead served up a massive three-run homer to center field by Marcell Ozuna. It's been a brutal start to the season for the left-handed closer, and he's saddled with a 4.70 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and ghastly 7:10 K:BB through 7.2 innings. Scott's job security might be hanging by a thread, and potentially the only thing keeping him in the ninth right now for the Marlins is that no one else in the bullpen has pitched particularly well either.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Goes five outs for first save

    Scott earned the save Wednesday, allowing one hit and three walks with a strikeout over 1.2 scoreless innings against the Yankees. Scott has battled command and control issues, and he's also been disadvantaged by the Marlins' poor start, but he now has the team's first save in Game 13 of the year. So far, Scott has taken a pair of losses and issued nine walks through 5.2 innings this season. Scott walked back-to-back batters in the ninth inning Wednesday and loaded the bases with two outs, but he got Aaron Judge to fly out to preserve the 5-2 win.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Wild again in Monday's loss

    Scott (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Angels, giving up a run on three walks in one inning without striking out a batter. The control issues that beset Scott during spring training haven't gone away to begin the regular season. The southpaw entered a 4-4 tie in the top of the eighth inning and immediately walked the first three batters he faced, tossing only 14 of 27 pitches for strikes. Through his first three appearances of 2024, Scott has stumbled to a 5:6 K:BB in 3.0 innings -- when the 0-5 Marlins eventually do start building late leads to protect, he may have a very short leash as the closer. Anthony Bender, who has a 5:1 K:BB through his first 2.2 innings this season, might be the top candidate to replace him in the ninth inning at the moment given Andrew Nardi's early 20.25 ERA.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Shaky control to begin season

    Scott struck out two and walked two in a scoreless ninth inning Thursday, as the Marlins fell 6-5 to the Pirates in 12 innings on Opening Day. The 29-year-old left-hander had trouble finding the plate for most of the spring and those issues carried forward into the regular season, as Scott threw only 11 of 26 pitches for strikes in his first appearance of 2024. He remains Miami's closer for now, and potential replacement Andrew Nardi gave up two runs including a homer in the seventh inning Thursday, but Scott will need to sharpen his control if he's going to hang onto the job.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Rounding into form

    Scott didn't allow a run over two-thirds of an inning during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets without recording a walk or a strikeout. The southpaw had a terrible start to his spring, issuing seven free passes over his first four Grapefruit League appearances and lasting just 1.2 innings, but Scott seems to have turned a corner with his control. Over his last three games, he has a 1:0 K:BB in 2.2 innings while throwing 17 of 23 pitches for strikes. After posting career-best ratios in 2023 (2.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP) and converting 10 of 12 save chances after taking over the closer role in late August, Scott is still the favorite to handle ninth-inning duties for Miami this season.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Can't find plate Monday

    Scott failed to record an out and walked four batters, getting charged with three runs in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. The Marlins closer tossed only nine of 25 pitches for strikes before leaving the mound. It's too early to be worried about Scott, especially after he delivered career-best numbers in 2023, but he has walked a disturbing five of the 10 batters he's faced to begin the spring. If the control issues are a warning sign of a bigger issue, it's not clear who might step into the ninth inning for Miami.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Wins arbitration case

    Scott will make $5.7 million in 2024 after winning his arbitration case against the Marlins on Saturday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. After struggling in his first season with the Marlins, Scott had a fantastic 2023, posting a 2.31 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 104:24 K:BB across 78 innings. Scott's performance earned him an extra $550,000 compared to what the Marlins offered, and he will enter 2024 as the frontrunner for Miami's closer job.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Clinches playoff berth with save

    Scott picked up the save Saturday against Pittsburgh, striking out three over 1.1 innings while not allowing any hits or walks. Scott entered the contest with two outs and two runners on in the bottom of the eighth and was able to get the final out to hold Miami's 6-3 lead. He returned in the ninth and struck out the side to nail down his 12th save of the season as the Marlins clinched their first playoff berth since 2020 with the win. Scott has now converted his last three save opportunities and has struck out the side in two of his last three appearances.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Secures 11th save

    Scott picked up the save in Friday's 4-3 victory over the Pirates, tossing one scoreless inning without a walk or strikeout. Scott needed only nine pitches to retire three Pirates batters in order for his 11th save. The lefty reliever has excelled in the Marlins' closer role, and Scott owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB with eight saves over 15 innings in September.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Back from paternity leave

    Scott was activated from the paternity list ahead of Thursday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Scott missed Wednesday's doubleheader at Citi Field while welcoming a new addition to his growing family, but he is back in time for Thursday's series finale. The 29-year-old left-hander had been serving as the Marlins' primary closer prior to his brief absence and boasts an overall 2.38 ERA with 101 strikeouts through 75.2 innings this season.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: On paternity leave

    The Marlins placed Scott on the paternity list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. The Marlins will be without their primary closer for up to three days as Scott spends time with his expanding family. Huascar Brazoban (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list to take Scott's roster spot.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Notches save No. 10

    Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 10th save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Brewers. The lefty fired nine of 12 pitches for strikes while breezing through Milwaukee's 8-9-1 hitters. Scott has been mostly outstanding since taking over the closer role in late August, converting eight of 10 save chances over his last 13 appearances while posting a 1.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 15:1 K:BB through 15.2 innings.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Blown save, win

    Scott (9-5) blew the save, but picked up the win anyway Tuesday against the Mets. He allowed two runs on three hits over one inning. The 29-year-old was unable to preserve Miami's two-run, ninth-inning lead Tuesday, surrendering three hits and two runs to blow the save opportunity. Luckily for Scott, Jake Burger notched a walk-off base hit in the bottom of the inning, earning Scott the vulture victory. After seven consecutive scoreless outings, the southpaw has allowed runs in each of his last two appearances. Scott is now 9-for-13 in his save chances this season, with a 2.44 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 96:24 K:BB across 73.2 innings.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Possible waiver wire pickups

    By now, there's no disputing that Tanner Scott is the Marlins closer. He's gotten each of the team's past five saves, including two over the weekend. What's strange is how little attention it's gotten him in CBS Sports leagues. His 2.24 ERA and 12.1 K/9 would both rank seventh among relievers with at least 20 saves. He has the makings of a stud closer, in other words, and the stuff (a 98 mph fastball and wipeout slider) has always been there. It's true he flopped as a closer last year, but mostly because he couldn't find the strike zone. He's cut that walk rate in half this year. The Marlins are still very much in the playoff race and figure to play in some close games down the stretch, so Scott may well produce like a stud closer, too.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Converts five-out save

    Scott picked up the save Sunday against the Phillies. He allowed one walk while striking out three over 1.2 scoreless innings. Scott came on in relief of Andrew Nardi with one out in the eighth inning. With the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position, Scott struck out Edmundo Sosa and Kyle Schwarber to preserve a 5-4 lead before working around a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the ninth to earn his seventh save. The 29-year-old Scott has emerged as an elite closing option for Miami of late -- he hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 17.2 innings, striking out 21 while issuing just three walks in that span. He lowered his ERA to 2.24 on the season with a 1.04 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB across 68.1 innings.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Picks up sixth save

    Scott picked up the save Friday against Philadelphia. He allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out one in a perfect inning. It was Scott's fourth save in five opportunities since taking over the closer's role from David Robertson in late August. Scott has now gone 14 consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run and has quietly been one of the best relievers in baseball this season, holding a 2.30 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 89 strikeouts with seven wins, 24 holds and six saves over 66.2 innings.

  • Marlins' Tanner Scott: Nails down fifth save

    Scott picked up the save Tuesday against the Dodgers. He allowed a hit while striking out two over a scoreless inning. Scott seems to have firmly established himself as the new closer in Miami, seeing the club's last four save opportunities since David Robertson was removed from the role. Scott struck out a pair of Dodgers on Tuesday, working around a one-out single to secure his fifth save in a 6-3 win. The left-hander has now gone 13 appearances (15 innings) without giving up an earned run, lowering his ERA to 2.33 with a 1.07 WHIP and 88:23 K:BB across 65.2 innings this season.
