2026 review

Tanner Scott was a shutdown reliever this year, missing bats and holding the ninth inning down: he posted a 2.69 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 63.2 IP over 69 games for LAD, with 25 SV, 13 HLD and a 32.7 K% and a 6.0 BB% over 251 BF. His 18.1 SwStr% and his 32.2 CSW% over 963 pitches were the 2nd and 19th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF, and his 32.7 K% over 251 BF was the 18th highest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 390, he finished 156th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 234 spots above, 34th of 811 pitchers, and 15th of 575 RP. His 2.69 ERA ran 0.34 below his 3.03 xERA over 251 BF. The TDK LABS card tracked the closer story all year: by early May it had him locked in as the closer covering for a teammate's recovery, and by mid-Jul it still had him as the fill-in closer during that stretch; by early Sep it had him as the firm closer whose recent outings had cost him runs, and by late Sep it had him back as a firm closer with elite strikeout and control rates after clean recent work.
