MAX SCHERZER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Max Scherzer on his high BABIP and K-Rate

The Detroit Tigers right-hander has the highest strikeout rate (12.0) of any American League starter, but he also has the highest BABIP (.394) and has a 5.67 ERA. According to a major-league scout who has seen him multiple times this season, the numbers aren’t misleading: “He has either been striking guys out or giving up...

Detroit Tigers: Can Max Scherzer Be Consistent?
I once heard it said that baseball is the only team sport where each player stands on an island. That statement couldn’t be more true when it comes to pitching. Standing ten inches above the field, and sixty feet and six inches from home plate, it is the pitchers duty to make hitting the hardest [...]

Max Scherzer Strikes Out 15, All Swinging

Detroit Tigers Pitcher Max Scherzer Strikes Out 15 Pirates
Just Friday, Kerry Wood of the Chicago Cubs walked away from baseball following one last appearance on the mound at Wrigley Field, striking out the last batter he ever faced. Wood, of course, is best known for his 20 strikeout game in 1998, easily the highlight of a career that many believed failed to reach its potential.

Detroit Tigers: Max Scherzer – Good Max v. Ugly Max
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Detroit Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones has located and addressed a mechanical flaw in Max Scherzer’s delivery.
You can either take this as good news, because generally when Max is right, he is dominant. Or you can take this as bad news, because here we go again with this same old storyline. He hasn’t been right so far in 2012 with the...
