Scouting Report: Connor Scott
Chicago Cubs | CF
Overall
Summary
Connor Scott is a young pitcher showing significant improvement in 2026. After a rough initial recall to the majors, Scott has made the most of a second opportunity following an injury to teammate Kodai Senga. In his last two starts, he has posted a 2.79 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 9.2 innings. His success is attributed to a revamped pitch mix that includes a new cut-fastball and slower sweeper, which has elevated his overall Stuff+ rating significantly from 100 in 2024. His four-seam fastball velocity has also increased from 94.2 mph in 2024 to 96.1 mph in 2026. Scott continues to impress Mets manager Carlos Mendoza with his electric stuff and improved performance against left-handed hitters.
Strengths
- Revamped pitch mix with new cut-fastball and slower sweeper
