Tayler Scott To Sign With NPB’s Hiroshima Carp

By Dylan A. Chase | December 1, 2019 at 12:31am CDT

The Hiroshima Carp of the NPB have announced the signing of righty Tayler Scott, as relayed in a tweet from Patrick Newman of NPBtracker.com (link). Scott, who is expected to serve in middle relief with the Carp, will receive a $525K salary and a $175K signing bonus.

A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, Scott made his MLB debut in 2019 with the Mariners after a seven-year minor league career in the Cubs, Brewers, and Rangers orgs. A rough sample of appearances (9.39 ERA in 7.2 innings) foreshadowed his placement on waivers, where he was scooped up by the pitching-needy Orioles.

Things went even more poorly in Baltimore, unfortunately, with the 27-year-old allowing 18 earned runs in 8.2 innings of relief. Still, the 6’3 righty has managed a 3.86 ERA over the course of his minor league career, armed with a sinking fastball that sits around 94 mph and a slider that elicited a respectable 36.1 percent whiff rate in Scott’s brief MLB tenure.

    Good for him or anyone who seizes on an opportunity.

    A worm-burning pitcher with imperfect control that was able to (eventually) hold his own in AAA should be decent enough in the NPB. For the international-ness of baseball, I hope he finds himself and can act as a representative of South African baseball.

        Seriously? Are you just looking to race bait?

        May I ask what you find racist about my comment? From my perspective, I made a description of his player profile and a reference to his nation being very unrepresented in baseball (he’s probably one of only a handful-at-most South Africans to play in the MLB or NPB and the only one I’ve ever heard of). I see nothing that could be reasonably taken as a qualitative comment on his ethnicity or race.

        If I inadvertently said something inappropriate, I apologize and wish to understand exactly what it was so that I may not repeat that mistake.
