Christian Scott Impresses in Strong Comeback Season With New York Mets

Returning from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for all of 2025, right-hander Christian Scott posted a 3.85 ERA, 3.61 FIP, and 134 strikeouts across 110 innings in 23 starts for the New York Mets in 2026. Scott set a franchise record with 32 consecutive starts allowing four runs or fewer to begin his career. He featured a dominant cutter (+8 run value) and bumped his K/9 to 10.96, though knee inflammation cut his campaign short.
