"Scherzer threw four no-hit innings with one walk and one strikeout in a 1-0 Blue Jays win over the Philadelphia Phillies. His fastball averaged 94 mph after sitting at 93.6 last year. He also managed to generating six swinging strikes and consistantly attacked the zone. Sure, it's March, but it was a strong debut for the future Hall of Famer who is about to play in his 19th big league season."
"He said he hadn't thrown his last pitch in the big leagues and after one spring outing for the Toronto Blue Jays, the 41-year-old Scherzer is making that statement abundantly clear. After pitching in Game 7 of the World Series in which the Blue Jays lost to the LA Dodgers last November, the 41-year-old Scherzer was defiant in claiming that he wasn't ready to be done with playing in the big leagues."
Max Scherzer signed an incentive-laden contract with the Toronto Blue Jays in February after appearing in Game 7 of the World Series the previous November. The 41-year-old pitcher received a $3 million base salary with additional earnings of $1 million for every ten innings pitched after reaching 65 innings. In his first spring training outing against the Philadelphia Phillies, Scherzer threw four no-hit innings with one walk and one strikeout. His fastball averaged 94 mph, up from 93.6 mph the previous season, and he generated six swinging strikes while consistently attacking the zone. The performance suggests Scherzer retains significant pitching capability as he enters his 19th major league season.
