""Not being as bad as I was last year," Scott answered when asked what his focus is going into the 2026 season. "I mean, last year was kind of terrible for me, but it's a new year, 2026, and just going to move forward.""
""Yeah, I mean, just not being as predictable," Scott said. "Using my put-away pitches when I need them, and not going two strikes and letting up a hit. That was terrible.""
""I tried doing something that I didn't normally do, and I didn't play to my strengths," Scott explained. "The past two years, and the past two years before that were really good, and I kind of got away from that.""
Tanner Scott finished 1-4 with a 4.74 ERA, 4.70 FIP, 1.26 WHIP and an MLB-worst 10 blown saves in 57 innings across 61 appearances. The left-hander missed part of the second half due to left elbow inflammation and underwent an abscess excision that cost him the entire postseason. Scott struggled to put away hitters after getting ahead in the count and said he had shifted away from the strengths that produced elite results. The Dodgers signed him to a four-year, $72 million contract after a 150-inning stretch from 2023–2024 with a 2.04 ERA and a 31.3% strikeout rate. Scott intends to return to his strengths and be less predictable in 2026.
