Nationals' Scherzer 'good,' 'strong' and rarin' to go. MORE:
“I played catch probably two weeks after the World Series and I was playing catch OK, so I knew that there was no long-term damage. I did the whole MRI thing and that came away clean, too. Everybody wanted to dot their I's and cross their T's and everybody did,” Scherzer said with a chuckle at the club's annual fan festival at Nationals Park.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner, third in the 2019 NL voting after going 11-7 with a 2.92 ERA and 243 strikeouts in 172 1/3 innings, started his preparation for spring training on Jan. 1, just like he did a year ago.“I've recovered from our playoff run. I'm back in the training. I feel good. Right where I need to be throwing the ball,” Scherzer said. “I'll be going into spring training full tilt.
Scherzer did end up making it back to the mound for Game 7, which Washington won against the Houston Astros for the first title in franchise history. If anything, general manager Mike Rizzo assumes, the ever-competitive Scherzer might need a little holding back as pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach, Florida, on Feb. 12 for camp.
