Tanner Scott

Another good outing. 8 IP this season with 10 K and a 1.13 WHIP. 

Scott, Castro, and Givens, make up a good backend of the future pen.

His slider was nasty yesterday.   Mallex Smith couldn’t see it at all, so Sisco just called for it four times in a row.   So long as he throws strikes, he has a chance to be very good.

As I said in the game thread, the Rays' color guy was pretty positive about Scott and how the Orioles developed him.  He did of course point out that command of his pitches would be the main hurdle he has to overcome.

Watching him over the last few years, his ability to throw strikes has improved by such a huge amount. 

I don’t think he ever will have average command, but he doesn’t really need it to be a setup type reliever, he has the stuff to be wild in the zone.

I would rather he close honestly, since with today's usage patterns it would mean he would appear more often to lead off an inning as opposed to coming in with runners on.

I was more using setup type as an performance outcome rather than a defined role, but yeah, I tend to agree.

Scott entered the game with the bases loaded and nobody out, in the 6th inning ........ no wiggle-room, whatsoever.

He proceeded to strike out the side on 15 pitches ........ keeping the game at least modestly competitive.

possible "nugget"..with Hess.

If he can throw strikes he can be dominant.

FTFY 

That's a big "if"....

Scott been pretty good but have not seen the 100mph fastball that he had in the minors.  Maybe he is holding back some to control it more.  He really on had one game he really loss control in his outing.  5 walks and 17 ks in 12 innings is pretty impressive.

No, you really didn't fix that. If he throws strikes he can dominate (verb). If he throws strikes he can be dominant (adjective).

Meh, he's been ok. Either chooses to not throw the big heater or he's already lost it, like most of our young pitchers. He's a decent middle inning lefty, no more, IMO.
