Mike Scott is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on April 26, 1955 in Santa Monica, CA, California, United States. Right-handed starting pitcher who won the Cy Young Award in 1986, leading the National League in wins, ERA, and strikeouts.

Lefty reliever Jesse Orosco was his teammate on the New York Mets.

Scott was selected by the Mets in the second round of the 1976 Major League Baseball draft. He made his major league debut with the Mets in 1979. By the end of the 1982 season, Scott had compiled a 14-27 record. The Mets traded him to the Astros for Danny Heep on December 11, 1982. In 1983, Scott had a mostly successful first season with the Astros making 24 starts and going 10-6 with a 3.72 earned run average. Scott struggled in 1984 going 5-11 with a 4.68 ERA for the Astros.

The turning point in Scott’s career came in 1985, when he became a student of pitching coach Roger Craig. Craig taught Scott the split-finger fastball, a pitch he had made famous while coaching the pitchers of the 1984 World Series champion Detroit Tigers. Scott became an 18-game winner in 1985 and was rewarded with a three-year deal with the Astros, valued at $2 million. However, there were rumors that Scott’s dominating performance was the result of doctoring the baseball or cutting it or “scuffing” it. Scott had been accused of using sandpaper by the Chicago Cubs in 1985. In August 1986, Roger Craig, then the manager of the San Francisco Giants, complained that Scott’s real secret was that he scuffed the baseball. “It’s great,” Scott said of the charges. “Any time you have hitters coming to the plate thinking you’re doing something, it takes their minds off the pitch . . . Nine times out of 10 the umpire will look at the ball and throw it right back to me.”

He was born in Santa Monica, California.
