Given his drive and athletic achievements while at Cardinal Gibbons High School, Scott's success at the next level certainly comes as no surprise.

Scott was a multi-sport star. His other passion was football, but he excelled at baseball and set several school records including on-base percentage and slugging percentage as an 11th grader in 2014.
