ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Christian Scott’s rise has been a joy to watch for the Mets’ coaching staff, which helped the righty add a changeup to his arsenal last year before incorporating a sweeper this season.
It’s been a joy to live for Scott, who has emerged from a University of Florida reliever to the top starting pitcher prospect in the organization.
“It means a lot,” Scott said Friday from Tropicana Field, which will host his major league debut on Saturday. “I’ve worked really hard for this opportunity. I’m really grateful to be here. Going to come out and show my stuff, show what I got.”
