Drafted in the 14th round but signed for $150,000 in 2010, Scott caught the attention of Astros scout J.D. Alleva for his bat control and strike-zone awareness. The early returns have been positive. Scott carries a .316 average through 514 career plate appearances, and he hit .337 for Greeneville this season to rank third in the Appy League. Tall and lean with wiry strength, the lefty-hitting Scott consistently barrels the ball and attacks the gaps with a line-drive stroke. Houston envisions Scott as a potential top-of-the-order hitter because he possesses on-base skills, solid-average speed and limited home run potential. Because he controls the strike zone, he could grow into more power as his body matures. Scott's arm is solidly below-average, ruling out right field, and the Astros have used him mainly in left. He could enhance his profile by proving himself in center field, but his bat is intriguing enough to buy him developmental time.
