Tanner Scott Stats

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Tanner Scott fell to 2-3 in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Twins. Scott came in to pitch the eighth inning up by one run. He allowed a leadoff walk, threw a wild pitch to advance the runner to second, got a strikeout, and allowed a single to put runners on first and third before being removed from the game. Cesar Valdez allowed both of Scott's runners to score, bringing his final stat line to 1/3 of an inning pitched with two runs allowed on a hit and a walk with one strikeout. Scott has had decent numbers out of the bullpen this season, posting a 3.93 ERA with nine holds and an 11.29 K/9 rate. However, his 8.35 BB/9 rate limits his fantasy value even in save/holds leagues.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Tanner Scott managed to earn a hold in Monday's 4-2 win over the Yankees. He came on to pitch the eighth inning up by three, walked the first two hitters, recorded an out, then walked the bases loaded, and finally recorded a strikeout before being removed from the game. Cesar Valdez replaced him and allowed one of the inherited runners to score, but Austin Hays threw Aaron Judge out on the play, so the damage was limited. While his outing could have gone much worse, Scott has pitched pretty well this season, posting a 3.12 ERA with 10 walks and 11 strikeouts in 8 2/3 IP. Manager Brandon Hyde said after the game "I'm going to continue to throw him out there in big spots". Scott would only be a potential fantasy asset in saves/holds leagues, and his walk issues limit his fantasy upside even in those leagues.

The Baltimore Orioles won't name an official closer for 2021 but pitcher Tanner Scott could see his fair share of opportunities. The hard-throwing lefty will need to find the strike zone more consistently than he did in the spring (five walks in 6.1 innings) but he's averaged a strikeout rate near 30% averaged out over the past three MLB seasons. Last year, batters managed to hit just .164 against him and he produced a 1.31 ERA with one save and five holds. Hunter Harvey (oblique) is out with an injury and Cesar Valdez has been moved to more of a bulk-inning role so that leaves unproven arms Cole Sulser and Shawn Armstrong as the other key pitchers that could see high-leverage innings.
