""I think he's using different parts of the plate. I think the slider is just a better pitch this year than it ever was last year. The slider is better, and then the fastball, he's using it in different locations. So really good.""
""Yeah, and I think even Tanner, who's as good as anyone at washing the slate clean, but you still got to have success. And when you are not having success, it's like a here we go again kind of mindset. So for him to get off to a good start, it's important.""
""Yeah, I mean, just not being as predictable. Using my put-away pitches when I need them, and not going two strikes and letting up a hit. That was terrible.""
Tanner Scott's first season with the Dodgers was disappointing, but he has made significant changes this year. In his first four games, he has allowed just one hit in 2.1 scoreless innings. Manager Dave Roberts noted improvements in Scott's slider and fastball location. Scott struggled last year with injuries and consistency, but he appears more confident this season. The Dodgers want him to be less predictable and to effectively use his put-away pitches to avoid giving up hits after getting ahead in the count.
