The Marlins announced Monday that Scott will report to big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2018 first-round pick will get a chance to test himself against higher-level competition early in camp, but he'll presumably be reassigned to minor-league spring training after the first one or two waves of roster cuts. The 21-year-old outfielder split time between the Midwest and Florida State Leagues in 2019, slashing .248/.310/.359 with five home runs and 41 RBI across 476 at-bats.

Scott was added to the Marlins' 60-player pool Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2018 first-round pick will head to the Marlins' alternate training site for the closing stretch of the season. Scott finished 2019 at High-A Jupiter and had a .235/.306/.327 slash line with one homer and two stolen bases in 27 games.

The Marlins promoted Scott from Low-A Clinton to High-A Jupiter on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2018 first-round pick has performed at a below-league-average level (97 wRC+) at Clinton this season, but he's found his swing in July, slashing .313/.382/.434 (138 wRC+) across 110 plate appearances. The month-long surge was enough for the Marlins to give him a stiffer test in the Florida State League, where he'll join three more of the organization's recent first-round picks in JJ Bleday, Braxton Garrett and Trevor Rogers.

Scott went 2-for-5 with an RBI for Low-A Clinton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 19-year-old has suddenly caught fire in the Midwest League, reeling off seven straight multi-hit games and slashing .483/.516/.690 over that stretch. Scott hasn't yet performed like a first-round pick (13th overall in 2018) in his brief minor-league career, but his speed and developing hit tool mark him as a potential leadoff hitter in the majors if he maxes out his skills, so this surge is a very encouraging development.

Scott went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run for Low-A Clinton on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 13th overall pick in the 2018 draft has had a rough start to the season. Thursday's homer was his first, and Scott's .148/.212/.262 slash line and 5:15 BB:K through 15 games are not what the Marlins were hoping to see. He's still only 19, so some struggles in full-season ball aren't that surprising, and he has shown signs of skill growth -- his 3-for-4 performance on steal attempts is a huge step up from the 9-for-17 he managed last year. If Scott can improve his hit tool as he climbs the ladder, his speed would play at the top of a big-league order whether he ever develops any power or not, but as a prospect he has a lot to prove right now.
