Max Scherzer, set to start for the Toronto Blue Jays, is on the verge of becoming only the second pitcher in 24 years to surpass 3,500 strikeouts, needing just one more to pass Walter Johnson for 10th in MLB history. After battling injuries, Scherzer found relief through playing the piano, which helped strengthen his fingers and alleviate pain. He attributes his ongoing success to this unexpected solution, allowing him to continue his illustrious career. Scherzer, an eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young winner, now aims to join the ranks of the game’s all-time greats.
