Tayler Scott was a relief pitcher for the Houston Astros. In 2025 he struck out 24 batters over 27.1 innings across 24 appearances, going 1-2. His ERA of 7.90 was 90.0% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the worst on his team, and 532nd of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 6.32 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.7% of swings (11.9% of every pitch he threw), walked 13.4% of the batters he faced and struck out 17.9%. His -0.5 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
