All evidence points to Scott getting weaker when he became an Alpha. As a beta he was able to be very quick and agile dodging several shots from Deucalions cane and landing at least a hit on the twins voltron wolf thing in the hospital. This may be from a lack of confidence or lack of legitimate werewolves in his pack I think this has more to do with Derek's fighting experience. He has a past that hasn't been fully explored, but so far we can see somehow he's fluent in at least two languages (possibly more according to the old hunter woman's comment) and is exceptional at fighting. "I may not be an Alpha anymore, but I can still fight like one" makes me think that he was brought up to be an alpha and trained to fight. It would make sense, since his family is so prestigeous that they would groom their young to be Alphas. So even at this young age, he may be trained in combat more than Scott has.
