GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Former University of Florida baseball standout Christian Scott was named the New York Mets Minor League Pitcher of the Year, as announced by the organization on Wednesday evening.
Scott, who pitched for the Gators from 2019-2021, delivered a dominant 2023 campaign that included stops at Low-A St. Lucie, High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton. Across the three levels, Scott turned in a 2.57 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 11.0 strikeouts per nine and 1.2 walks per nine over 19 starts spanning 87 2/3 frames.
