Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman shakes out his arm when he thinks back to stepping into the batter's box to face now-teammate Max Scherzer.
DUNEDIN – Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman shakes out his arm when he thinks back to stepping into the batter’s box to face now-teammate Max Scherzer.
“It’s a cat-and-mouse game,” Scherzer said Sunday. “Evolving just has to be a part of your DNA. You have to welcome it. That’s what we do.”A three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer relies on a four-seam fastball in a repertoire that includes a slider, curve, change-up and cutter. “He kind of hides the ball behind his head and you just don’t see it,” he said. “His stuff is great too. It’s a mixture of that and he’s not going to take it easy on you ever.”Scherzer, who made his debut in 2008 with the Arizona Diamondbacks, is joining his seventh big-league team. He won the World Series with the Nationals in 2019 and with Texas in 2023.
Scherzer has drawn a crowd for his throwing sessions at the Jays’ player development complex. Pitchers of all ages are keen to glean a little info by watching one of the game’s masters.
