Heading into 2026, Scott has vowed to rebound and become a dominant force for Los Angeles. He openly acknowledged a rough previous season, saying he plans to “wash it, flush it like a toilet, and just let it be,” while Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emphasized that Scott’s struggles were largely a mechanical issue at the plate, noting that his pitches tended to miss the middle of the zone.
Scott’s performance remains a potential turning point for the Dodgers, who are fortunate to boast what appears on paper to be the strongest roster in baseball following notable offseason additions, including Kyle Tucker. Health will play a critical role, as remaining on the field will be essential if Los Angeles is to leverage its depth and contend for a third straight championship.
With spring training underway, Scott is focused on resetting and regaining his form, a necessary step if the Dodgers are to contend for a three-peat in 2026. If he recaptures his earlier reliability and aligns with the club’s overall pitching plan, the Dodgers’ chances of securing back-to-back titles—and potentially a history-making three-peat—will be enhanced.
