St. Louis Cardinals Β· Outfielder
This young centerfielder enters 2026 still searching for consistency at the plate after a disappointing start that saw his batting average slip to .194 with just two home runs through 155 at-bats. While Scott II's speed remains a valuable assetβhe's demonstrated 30-plus stolen base potential with 34 swipes last seasonβhis offensive production has regressed significantly from 2025, raising concerns about whether he can provide meaningful power and batting average contributions. The 25-year-old's MiLB success as an organization All-Star suggests the tools are there, but he needs to regain the form that made him a mid-season call-up candidate, as his current trajectory makes him a high-risk, speed-dependent fantasy option. Managers should proceed cautiously unless Scott II shows marked improvement at the plate in the coming weeks, though his stolen base upside keeps him on the radar in deeper leagues.
