Prompt:
Imagine you are in the batting cages as a RHH is preparing to come in and face Tanner Scott. What information would you give him / coaches?

4.) Walk Rate Note
In 2024, Tanner Scott was in the 7th percentile for walk rate - can be wild at times. Be selective until you get two strikes (protect mode).
5.) Chase Rate Note
Scott thrives on batters chasing at pitches not in the strike zone - specifically a 41.4% slider chase rate. Do not chase a low and away slider - wait for either a fastball in the strike zone or a hanging slider in the zone.
