Connor Bryant Scott (born October 8, 1999) is an American professional baseball outfielder in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
Amateur career[edit]
Scott attended Henry B. Plant High School in Tampa, Florida, where he played four years of varsity baseball.[1][2] In 2018, his senior year, he struggled with a hamstring injury, forcing him to miss three weeks. Over 20 games, he batted .526 with five home runs, along with pitching to a 3–0 win–loss record and a 2.13 earned run average in 23 innings.[2] He committed to attend the University of Florida to play college baseball for the Florida Gators.[3]
Professional career[edit]
Miami Marlins[edit]
The Miami Marlins selected Scott in the first round, with the 13th overall pick, in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[4] He signed for a $4,038,200 signing bonus, rather than attend Florida, and made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Marlins of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League (GCL).[5][6] After 27 games in the GCL, he was promoted to the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the Class A South Atlantic League.[7] In 50 games between the two teams, Scott batted .218 with one home run and 13 runs batted in.[8]
Scott began 2019 with the Clinton LumberKings of the Class A Midwest League.[9] After slashing .251/.311/.368 with four home runs, 36 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases over 95 games, he was promoted to the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, with whom he finished the year, batting .235 with one home run over 27 games.[10][11] For the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Beloit Snappers of the High-A Central, slashing .276/.333/.446 with ten home runs, 46 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases over 96 games.[12]
Pittsburgh Pirates[edit]
On November 29, 2021, the Marlins traded Scott, Zach Thompson, and Kyle Nicolas to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Jacob Stallings.[13] He was assigned to the Altoona Curve of the Double-A Eastern League for the 2022 season.[14] Over 109 games, Scott slashed .247/.308/.389 with seven home runs, 49 RBIs, and 25 doubles.[15]
