The Los Angeles Dodgers enhanced their bullpen by signing Tanner Scott for a four-year, $72 million deal. While Scott has achieved 10 saves this season, his performance has been inconsistent. Despite a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio, he has recently allowed harder contact and experienced a slight dip in fastball velocity. Following a couple of shaky outings that led to blown leads, both manager Dave Roberts and pitching coach Mark Prior have noted his need for better pitch location to avoid costly mistakes against batters.
"I think the stuff is still good," manager Dave Roberts said afterward. "It's just right now, it just seems like when there is a mistake, they find some outfield grass or put a good swing on it."
"Right now, he's just kind of living in the middle, the midline of the zone," pitching coach Mark Prior said. "You leave it in that spot, more than likely they're gonna put a good swing on it."
