The Mets drafted a ton of college pitchers in 2021, and Christian Scott was barely an afterthought. Kumar Rocker took up the majority of the oxygen, and Mike Vasil’s (8th round, Virginia) more immediate breakout took up most of whatever was left. Dominic Hamel (3rd round, Dallas Baptist) was a more interesting sleeper to prospect-hounds due to his high spin rates, as was Levi David (9th round, Northwestern State) given his absurd stuff and equally absurd lack of control. Even Keyshawn Askew (10th round, Clemson) had more intrigue surrounding him prior to being dealt to the Rays for Brooks Raley.
Christian Scott is a sign of things to come
