Adam Scott may not be seeing game action this year, but the professional pitcher is working like he will.

The Canandaigua grad pitched last season for the Cleveland Indians' Class AA team, the Akron Rubberducks. He expected to rejoin that team this year and try to work his way up to AAA Columbus but the coronavirus, as it's done with so many other athletes, ended those hopes for this year.

So, Scott is throwing his normal bullpen sessions while at home in Canandaigua but every other one is a high-velocity training session, meant to keep his arm and mechanics in game shape. "That's more of a "V-lo" bullpen, so working through my delivery as fast and explosive as possible. The easy thing to see is to try and light up the radar gun and try and throw as hard as you can but I'm doing it with the intent of trying to move as efficiently as possible and kinda clean up mechanics, just something that's concrete that can carry on as we go out."

His coaches have asked him to stay ready. The left-hander has a chance of being added to the 60-man player pool if the Indians have a significant number of pitchers that contract COVID-19. While he is not expecting that to happen, Scott is working as though he has been pitching live games all along just in case.

There have been rumors about fall or instructional leagues expanding to allow minor league players who weren't able to play, a chance to get ready for 2021 spring training but like everything else involving the pandemic, it's one big waiting game.
