Mets' Scott Struggles in Debut, Booed Off Mound
24 Apr
Summary
- Christian Scott's difficult MLB debut lasted only 1.1 innings.
- Scott struggled with command, allowing one run and five walks.
- Fans booed Scott as he was removed from the game early.
The New York Mets called up right-hander Christian Scott hoping for a spark but were met with disappointment. Scott's major league debut against the Minnesota Twins was cut short after just 1.1 innings due to a severe lack of command.
During his brief appearance, Scott allowed one run, walked five batters, and hit another, prompting a chorus of boos from the home crowd as he exited the mound. Reliever Tobias Myers entered in the second inning to strand Scott's inherited runners, preserving a 3-1 Mets lead.
The Mets had hoped Scott would provide much-needed depth for their rotation, but his performance indicated he may not be ready for the big leagues. The team faces continued rotation uncertainty, with Kodai Senga and David Peterson also experiencing struggles.
Austin Warren was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Scott on the active roster. The Mets will likely send Scott back to Syracuse soon, with another reliever expected to be called up for the weekend series against the Colorado Rockies.
