BRADENTON, Fla. – Connor Scott had a strong finish to the 2021 season.
The former Marlins outfield prospect, acquired by the Pirates in the Jacob Stallings trade, posted a .314/.353/.547 line with six homers and seven steals in 159 at-bats over the final two months. Scott, drafted 13th overall by Miami in 2018, finished the season in High-A with a .779 OPS, 10 homers, and 14 steals. He credited the uptick at the end of the season to getting more experience and learning how to hit.
“I started focusing more on quality of contact,” said Scott.
