Scott attended McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia,[1] and West Virginia University, where he played college baseball for the West Virginia Mountaineers.[2] In 2022, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[3] The St. Louis Cardinals selected Scott in the fifth round of the 2022 MLB draft.[4]
The Cardinals assigned Scott to the Palm Beach Cardinals of the Single–A Florida State League in 2022.[5] Scott began the 2023 season with the Peoria Chiefs of the High-A Midwest League[6] and was promoted to the Springfield Cardinals of the Double-A Texas League in June.[7] Scott was chosen to represent the Cardinals at the 2023 All-Star Futures Game.[8] After the season, he played for the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League.[9] After the season, Scott won one of the three Rawlings Gold Glove Awards given out to the best defensive players in the minor leagues.[10]
The Cardinals invited Scott to spring training in 2024 as a non-roster player.[11] After a shoulder injury to starting center fielder Dylan Carlson that put him on the injured list for a few weeks, Scott was the center fielder on Opening Day for the Cardinals.[12][13] Scott batted 5-for-65 (.085) for the Cardinals before they optioned him to the Memphis Redbirds of the Triple–A International League on April 21.[14] They recalled him on August 4.[15]
Scott's parents, Victor and Mary, ran track. His father is a member of the Morris Brown College Hall of Fame.[4]
