Scouting Report: Tanner Dodson
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Tanner Scott, Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher, is having an exceptional 2026 season after a disappointing 2025 debut year with the team. Signed to a 4-year, $72 million contract, Scott struggled in 2025 with a 4.74 ERA and -0.6 bWAR, missing the postseason roster due to lack of confidence and a groin injury. However, he returned to Spring Training as a new man and has been dominant in 2026, posting a 1.47 ERA with a 0.60 WHIP in 18.1 innings pitched. Scott has recorded three saves and is demonstrating elite stuff with his blazing fastball and sharp slider. His chase percentage of 46.9% and walk rate of 3.1% (99th percentile) showcase plus stuff and veteran-like precision. The Dodgers' bullpen has been crucial during a period of multiple starting pitcher injuries (Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow), making Scott's resurgence particularly valuable.
