Scherzer Joins Elite 3,500 Strikeout Club

Max Scherzer just joined an elite MLB club with his 3,500th strikeout, becoming only the 11th pitcher in history to reach that milestone—fanning the Phillies’ leadoff hitter at Rogers Centre. After narrowly missing the mark just weeks prior and battling injuries, he’s back and thriving, now standing shoulder-to-shoulder with legends like Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson. Fans roared their approval as he hit the milestone. With Walter Johnson still ahead of him, Scherzer could still chase down Tom Seaver—and with Justin Verlander sidelined, the race for strikeout history remains wide open. Already a two-time World Series champ and postseason strikeout machine, Scherzer’s legacy is already etched in baseball’s greatest stories.
