Tanner Scott had five nondescript seasons with the Baltimore Orioles before he was traded to the Marlins, where he had the best run of his career.
His first season in Miami (2022) was largely consistent with his previous endeavors; however, in the subsequent season, the control he had been striving for throughout his career fully manifested. In 2023, Scott achieved an extraordinary level of statistical impact, posting a 9-win campaign and an impressive 2.31 ERA. He demonstrated comprehensive mastery in high-pressure situations, leading the National League in both Win Probability Added (WPA) and Championship Win Probability Added (cWPA). He became the first left-handed reliever in the franchise's history to accumulate 100 strikeouts in a single season, thereby establishing himself as the principal force behind a bullpen that propelled the Marlins into an unexpected postseason appearance.
During the 2024 season, he had a stellar first half, posting a 1.18 ERA and earning his first All-Star selection. He was a key ninth-inning reliever with 18 saves before the break. However, as the organization entered a rebuilding phase, Scott’s time in South Florida ended. On July 30, 2024, the Marlins traded him to the San Diego Padres for a four-prospect package.
Scott had an overall 19-15 record with a 2.70 ERA and 50 Saves for Miami.
