Scouting summary
Tanner Scott enters 2026 as an established major league reliever at age 31 with significant bifurcated recent performance history. His 2023-2024 window demonstrates true elite-reliever capacity with 1.18-2.31 ERA marks, All-Star selection, and dominant arsenal deployment. However, his 2025 regression to 4.74 ERA with league-leading blown saves creates uncertainty about baseline performance. The underlying issue appears execution-based rather than stuff-degradation, as velocity and movement metrics remain elite. If he can rediscover the command-refinement improvements from 2023-2024, he profiles as a high-leverage back-end reliever capable of closing games. If command issues persist, he becomes a middle-innings relief arm. The $72 million Dodgers investment signals organizational confidence in bounce-back potential. Most likely outcome is partial recovery toward career mean performance, landing him in 3.50-3.80 ERA range rather than returning to elite 1-2 run territory.
