MAX SCHERZER WAS 1 OF THE GREATEST PITCHERS OF THE 2010S DECADE
Max Scherzer proved to be an Ace early on and ended the decade with a World Series win, further showing that Max Scherzer dominated the 2010s decade. On top of having the most Ks in the decade, he recorded eight straight seasons with 230+ Ks, including one year where he put up a MLB-best 300. Scherzer also earned all three of his Cy Young’s in the 2010s, and finished second in voting once as well, with three more top-5 finishes on top of that.
Through the decade, Scherzer won 161 games with a 3.12 ERA, racked up seven consecutive All-Star appearances, and ended the decade with a World Series victory. He also led the league in Wins four times, three times in complete games, and four times in strikeout-to-walk ratio. Mad Max is one of the most intimidating SP a batter can face, and is by far one of the greatest pitchers of the 2010s, with only Clayton Kershaw having a better pitching resume during the decade.
His story is still being written with his final chapter looking to take place in Queens alongside the best Pitcher in baseball as Scherzer and Jacob deGrom form one of the greatest 1-2 punches of all-time as they hold five Cy Young awards between them. Neither looks to be slowing down anytime soon despite age and injuries possibly catching up to them.
