Career

Scott attended Henry B. Plant High School in Tampa, Florida,[2][3] where he played four years of varsity baseball.[2] In 2018, his senior year, he struggled with a hamstring injury, forcing him to miss three weeks. In 20 games, he batted .526 with five home runs, along with pitching to a 3–0 win-loss record and a 2.13 earned run average in 23 innings.[3] He committed to attend the University of Florida to play college baseball for the Florida Gators.[4]

The Miami Marlins selected Scott with the 13th overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft.[5] He signed for a $4,038,200 signing bonus, rather than attend Florida,[6] and made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Marlins of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League (GCL).[7] After 27 games in the GCL, he was promoted to the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the Class A South Atlantic League.[8] In 50 games between the two teams, Scott batted .218 with one home run and 13 runs batted in.[9]

Scott began 2019 with the Clinton LumberKings of the Class A Midwest League.[10] After slashing .251/.311/.368 with four home runs, 36 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases over 95 games, he was promoted to the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League,[11] with whom he finished the year, batting .235 with one home run over 27 games.

gollark: ```Like some species of flamingos, Penk eats a large amount of shrimp and algae high in carotenoids, giving rise to her rosy hue. Penk would, under other circumstances, be a regular, silver-colored member of her breed.```
gollark: That's not messy, that's a spiral.

gollark: You can do it, it'll just take about four years.
