Happy Saturday, Viva El Birdos!
The VEB Podcast was back this week with another prospect interview! This time with another speedster. Meet Victor Scott II!
Scott was drafted in the 5th round in 2022. He produced a 115 wRC+ last year during his first exposure to professional pitchers in A ball. This year he raced through A+, providing a 118 wRC+ centered around quality contact skills and average walk rates. He hit .282 with a .117 ISO.
That earned him a mid-season promotion to AA. So far so good for a 22-year-old player with a 70-80 grade speed and light power.
