Scott's Mets Return: Pitching Stability Ahead

On May 1st, Christian Scott made his meds debut back in 2024 feeling unstoppable, climbing

the prospect ranks like a boss.

Fast forward to this year, after a brutal Tommy John surgery and a year and a half rehab

grind, his second big league shot on April 23rd.

Against the twins turned into a nightmare.

He walked five guys, hit one, balked, and got just four outs before it all unraveled.

That long row back had him stuck in Florida heat, playing online chess to kill time, building

from catch to bullpins step by step.

When the moment hit, he admitted it overwhelmed him, spiraling into overthinking every pitch.

Metz fans saw the talent flicker, but the control vanished, and the team optioned him to

triple A Syracuse the next day, amid roster moves.

Scott stayed chill off the field, owning the slip-up as not his true self.

Then boom.

Kodai Singa lands on the injured list Tuesday, freeing up a rotation spot.

Not heading back for Friday's opener in Anaheim, armed with his mid-90s fastball,

Sharbert Cutter from rehab, and that easy-going vi-bat, 26 years old.

Metz need pitching stability bad, with other arms struggling, so if Scott locks in, he

could anchor this rotation for seasons ahead, just happy to.

Sling heat and chase wins wherever the call comes.
