2026 Fantasy Outlook

Scott won the Cardinals' Opening Day center fielder job, played premium defense and ranked in the top 10 in baseball with his 34 stolen bases. Unfortunately, the speedster showed very little progression from an offensive standpoint. Scott's .601 OPS ranked 175 out of 177 players to accrue at least 450 plate appearances, and he was dead last in that group with a lowly .296 slugging percentage. He's been particularly feeble against non-fastballs, with a .247 xwOBA versus breaking pitches and a .217 wOBA against offspeed offerings. Scott will be entering his age-25 season in 2026 and, between his excellent defense and the Cardinals going through a rebuild, should have some leash on an everyday job. However, we haven't seen anything to this point to suggest he could become anything more than a one-category specialist. Read Past Outlooks

Scott has a .161/.317/.226 slash line with one double and five stolen bases through 42 plate appearances in Grapefruit League action.

Analysis
The 25-year-old reworked his swing during the offseason and entered spring training looking to bunt for base hits more often, but he's racked up just five total bases through 13 Grapefruit League games. Scott will provide strong defense in center field, but his bat will likely need to come to life at some point in 2026 to retain the starting job. He played in 138 games last year and posted a .216/.305/.296 slash line with five homers and 34 steals.

* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2025

2024

A rash of outfield injuries forced Scott onto the Cardinals' Opening Day roster last year, but he was sent down to Triple-A Memphis after looking overmatched for a few weeks. The 24-year-old continued to struggle while at Memphis until a swing change around midseason allowed Scott to tap into a little pop and earn a trip back to St. Louis. Scott hit five homers and four doubles during a 23-game stretch from late July to late August but was eventually sent down again after Michael Siani got healthy. It's Siani who represents Scott's biggest roadblock to playing time in 2025. Scott has far more upside of the two and has the potential to be a fantasy difference maker with his speed, but a lack of polish offensively and defensively could mean more time in the minors for Scott initially.

No longer an underrated speedster after a strong Arizona Fall League showing, Scott is a throwback center fielder with 50-steal upside. He has a career .290 average and .367 OBP to go with 107 steals (86 percent success rate) and 11 home runs in 163 minor-league games. Scott capped his 132-game age-22 season with another 23 games in the AFL, slashing .286/.388/.417 with three home runs, 18 steals and more walks (12) than strikeouts (eight). Unlike some slash-and-dash speedsters who go up to the plate trying to dump singles into the opposite field, Scott had pull rates over 42 percent and groundball rates below 50 percent at High-A and Double-A. Good pitchers should be able to challenge Scott inside, but he still projects to be a better pure hitter than recent speedsters like Esteury Ruiz or Billy Hamilton. Not that he doesn't excel at small ball when necessary: Scott hit .708 on 28 bunt attempts last season (24 against lefties), per Baseball America. It's important to note that Scott is a 70-grade defender, so the Cardinals are going to be motivated to try to coax enough offense out of him to justify playing him every day. He could debut as a reserve option later this summer. A move into a prominent big-league role is more likely to take place in 2025.
