Career highlights and awards

Tanner Alexander Scott (born July 22, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins. He made his MLB debut in 2017 with the Orioles.

Amateur career

[edit]

Scott graduated from Howland High School in Howland Township, Ohio, in 2012. He then played college baseball at Notre Dame College in 2013 and Howard College in 2014.[1] After the 2014 season, he briefly played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2] He was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft.[3]

Professional career

[edit]

Baltimore Orioles

Scott with the Orioles in 2018

After signing, Scott made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Orioles and spent the whole season there, going 1-5 with a 6.26 ERA in ten games (eight starts). In 2015, Scott pitched for both the Aberdeen IronBirds and Delmarva Shorebirds,[4] where he posted a combined 4-3 record and 3.83 ERA in 42.1 innings pitched between the two clubs. After the season, he pitched in the Arizona Fall League.[5] Scott spent 2016 with both the Frederick Keys and the Bowie Baysox, where he went 5-4 with a 4.76 ERA in 43 relief appearances between the two teams. In 2017, he played with Bowie where he compiled a 0-2 record and 2.22 ERA in 24 starts[6] before being called up to the major leagues on September 17, 2017.[7] Scott made two appearances for Baltimore for the season.

Scott worked regular one-inning stints for the Orioles during spring training before the 2018 season, creating speculation that the Orioles No. 6 prospect[8] could pitch his way onto the major league roster early. The plan, however, was for Scott to pitch three-inning stints as a starter in five-man rotation for the Norfolk Tides.[9]

After pitching out of the bullpen in Triple-A Norfolk's opening game on April 6, 2018, Scott was called up again on April 8 to join the Orioles bullpen — just as Jimmy Yacabonis was optioned to Norfolk.[10] Scott was optioned back to Norfolk the next day, after pitching 1+2⁄3 innings against the Yankees the day before.[11][12] He was recalled on April 20 prior to a Friday game against the Cleveland Indians.[11] Scott pitched two scoreless innings against the Indians the next day[13] before being optioned once again on April 28. Baltimore recalled him on May 9. The Orioles sent Scott down on June 9 and recalled him on June 15.[citation needed] In 53 appearances in the season, Scott worked in 53+1⁄3 innings, striking out 76 in the process.

In 2019, Scott appeared in 28 games only and posted an ERA of 4.78 in 26+1⁄3 innings with 37 strikeouts. In 2020 for the Orioles, Scott pitched to a superb 1.31 ERA to go along with 23 strikeouts in 20+2⁄3 innings pitched over 25 games. In 2021, Scott recorded a 5.17 ERA with 70 strikeouts and 37 walks in 54 innings.[14]

Miami Marlins

[edit]

On April 3, 2022, the Orioles traded Scott and Cole Sulser to the Miami Marlins in exchange for a draft pick in the Competitive Balance Round B of the 2022 MLB draft, two minor league prospects, Antonio Velez and Kevin Guerrero, and a player to be named later.[15][16] (On June 3, Baltimore acquired minor league RHP Yaqui Rivera from Miami as the player to be named later).[17] He made 67 relief outings during his first season with Miami, posting a 4.31 ERA with 90 strikeouts and 20 saves over 62+2⁄3 innings pitched.[18]

On January 13, 2023, Scott agreed to a one-year, $2.825 million contract with the Marlins, avoiding salary arbitration.[19] Scott won the National League Reliever of the Month Award for September/October.[20] In 74 appearances out of the bullpen in 2023, he compiled a 9–5 record and 2.31 ERA with 104 strikeouts and 12 saves across 78 innings pitched.[21]

Scott made 44 appearances for Miami in 2024, registering a 1.18 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 18 saves across 45+2⁄3 innings of work. He was also named an All-Star for the first time.[22]

San Diego Padres

[edit]

On July 30, 2024, the Marlins traded Scott and Bryan Hoeing to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Jay Beshears, and Graham Pauley.[23]
