Scherzer Surpasses Johnson Into Top 10 | MLB News

Max Scherzer just shattered baseball history, vaulting into 10th place on the all-time strikeout list with his 3,515th K — fanning Kyle Schwarber in the sixth inning against the Phillies. From his Diamondbacks debut in 2008 to his current stint with the Blue Jays, Scherzer’s dominance has been relentless: three Cy Youngs, two World Series rings, and nine straight seasons of 200+ strikeouts. Now, he’s closing in on Gaylord Perry and former teammate Justin Verlander — who’s likely to retire soon — leaving the door open for Scherzer to climb even higher. This isn’t just a stat; it’s a legacy in motion. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
