He\u2019s shown the ability to handle velocity, turning around a 90 MPH fastball for a double to the gap during the spring, and continued to produce consistently throughout the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the plate, Scott displays efficient footwork and a quick catch-and-release operation. His arm strength has been up to 75 MPH from the crouch, flashing carry through the bag. He also impressed with a highlight-reel play in North Carolina, throwing out a runner attempting to steal third from one knee while adjusting his arm slot around the hitter.<\/p>\n<p>A steady performer with advanced hitting ability and improving defensive tools, Scott continues to trend upward as one of the more polished two-way catchers in his class.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fadedivider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"2%\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Interested In Attending A PB New York Event? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepbaseballreport.com\/new-york\/showcases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interested In Subscribing to Prep Baseball Report?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepbaseballreport.com\/prospectplus-annual-subscription.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow The Team<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanCevette\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Follow @DanCevette <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ocker_n\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Follow @ocker_n <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JC_NY_PA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Follow @JC_NY_PA <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeWalentin\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Follow @JoeWalentin <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NathanGoranson\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" noopener=\"\" gt=\"\" follow=\"\" nathangoranson=\"\" img=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fadedivider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"2%\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fadedivider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"2%\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"November 7, 2025Joe WalentinPBR Staff Scott has been performing at a high level since we first saw him&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29397,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154],"class_list":["post-29396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
