00:02 - Let's look at Christian Scott,
00:05 from the New York Mets.
00:06 Christian Scott has been really good,
00:09 kind of a meteoric rise.
00:10 And again, this is despite my fandom
00:12 that I'll ever put a Met on a graphic here,
00:14 but we're gonna talk about this guy
00:16 because look at that strikeout number.
00:18 Nine innings, 19 strikeouts so far.
00:21 That's an enormous number.
00:22 Once again, it's not just talent, it's opportunity.
00:24 And opportunity is going to show itself.
00:26 Shomaniah, the bloom was off the rose.
00:29 It was a fun little start to the year,
00:30 a couple of good starts.
00:31 We gave up eight runs yesterday.
00:32 So I think we can get past that.
00:34 So what's in the Mets rotation?
00:35 Well, Kodai Senge is working his way back,
00:37 throwing off flat ground, so he's still a ways away.
00:39 Adrian Hauser is pedestrian.
00:42 Shomaniah, I think we all know exactly who Shomaniah is.
00:45 Luis Severino, all right, he's probably gonna stick around
00:47 because they paid him, we'll see what he is.
00:48 And Jose Quintana's gonna stick around.
00:50 There's gonna be opportunity in this Mets rotation.
00:51 And Christian Scott's one of these guys
00:52 that's going to get an opportunity at some point in time.
00:55 You've had injuries to McGill,
00:57 you've had injuries here in this rotation.
00:59 Butoh is another pitcher, Jose Butoh,
01:01 in the Mets system who came up
01:03 at a start in the doubleheader,
01:05 who I really liked in spring.
01:06 He works very quickly.
01:07 He really attacks the strike zone.
01:09 So there are a couple of arms here,
01:12 Butoh and Christian Scott, in this Mets system,
01:15 that I do think you're gonna see make 10 to 12 starts
01:17 at some point for this team.
01:18 So if you're in deeper leagues,
01:19 these are guys to at least monitor.
01:21 I'm not saying you have to pick them up right now,
01:22 but Christian Scott's a guy to put on that watch list
01:25 and see how the next few starts go,
01:26 because as you said, it is only April.
01:28 So if we can get into May
01:30 and things are going really well for Christian Scott,
01:32 but maybe not so well for the Mets rotation
01:34 or an injury should show itself,
01:36 Scott could be a guy that gets a call.
01:37 And he doesn't have a lot of the fanfare
01:39 that a lot of other prospects have
01:40 because he's kind of, I don't wanna say come out of nowhere,
01:42 but really in the last year had a really big push there
01:45 where the developmentally
01:46 he's really taken a big step forward.
01:47 And it shows it because he is dominating
01:49 with the whiff rate, dominating with the strikeout rate.
