Additionally, it was etched with "B2SKL" towards the top, which stands for return to school. Additionally, a "2/HR" label had been added to the No. 2 pencil's usual "2" placement, maybe in an effort to promote two-home run games.

Sadly, at least for the first inning, the odd bat selection did not really result in success. To conclude the inning with two men on, Stott grounded out.

Stott was chosen to participate in the All-Star Futures Game in June 2021. For the 2022 season, Stott was added to the Phillies' opening-day roster. On April 8, 2022, he made his main league debut for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Oakland Athletics, going 1-2-3 with an RBI.

For the first seventeen games of the 2023 season, Stott hit safely each time. His leadoff single to center field in the first inning of a 7-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox in the opening game of a doubleheader on April 18 at Guaranteed Rate Field set a new Phillies record, breaking the previous mark of 16 games set by Willie Jones in 1950.
