Tanner Scott explains root cause for ongoing struggles as Dodgers closer
Briefly

Tanner Scott faced significant challenges during the Dodgers' recent loss to the Mets, especially in the 10th inning when he allowed crucial runs to score. His inconsistency is attributed to poor pitch location, particularly with his fastball which has become a liability. Despite his track record, Scott acknowledges he is missing locations and the impact this has on his performance, notably resulting in losses and saves blown this season. There's a glimmer of hope as Scott believes his fastball's quality remains intact when properly executed.
"Missed location, especially down in the zone to hitters that I'm supposed to be in different spots. Just not hitting my location, and it's costing us."
"It's happened too much and it's frustrating. Especially when we battle back and it didn't go my way."
"It's getting hit a lot. It sucks right now. Last year, I relied on it a lot. This year, it's getting hit and I'm missing locations."
"If it's in the right spot, it usually doesn't get hit. If I miss location, it usually gets hit."
