He attended and played baseball, football, and basketball at Parkway Central High School in his hometown.

One of his high school coaching influences was basketball coach Rick Kirby, who stressed fundamentals and was defense-oriented. Marty Maier, then the Cardinals’ scouting director, was impressed enough to select him in the 43rd round (1,291st overall) of the 2003 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft.

One of Scherzer’s coaches at Missouri, Tony Vitello, was tasked with helping to recruit him, and eventually helped him to pitch with more balance and control and to stop leaping at hitters, which frequently caused him to miss up and in to right-handed batters. Ever energetic, in his early baseball career Scherzer exerted so much effort in his windup that his “head whip” constantly caused his cap to fall off. He did not pitch the final 50 days of his freshman season, instead working out and doing long toss, while gaining velocity in the process. Vitello and head coach Tim Jamieson trained him in a drill to balance on his back leg with more coordination and not to fall over his front foot. Scherzer modified it and worked constantly over the following winter, and returned his sophomore year to produce a 1.86 earned run average (ERA) and 131 strikeouts in 106 innings pitched over 16 games. In 2005, he won the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year Award.
Max Scherzer Net Worth
Max Scherzer is one of the richest Baseball Player from United States. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Max Scherzer's net worth $50 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)
He was a Missouri College baseball player and was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks as Missouri’s first MLB first-round draftee in 2006.
With a staggering 11.1 strikeouts per nine innings, he led the league in 2012. On June 20, 2015, he pitched his first no-hitter in his career with the Nationals.
On October 3, Scherzer achieved his second career no-hitter, and second of the season, versus the Mets, striking out a new career-high 17 batters with no walks. The only base runner permitted was via a throwing error by Yunel Escobar in the sixth inning. Several baseball analysts and pundits debated the game as one of the greatest pitching performances of all time, and perhaps the most dominant no-hitter ever pitched, based on the number of strikeouts, lack of walks issued or hit batters, and sheer mastery of the opposing batting order the third time through the lineup. At one point, Scherzer had struck out nine consecutive Mets, just one shy of the Major League record set by Tom Seaver in 1970. It tied Nolan Ryan for most strikeouts in a no-hitter, was the first no-hitter produced with at least 17 strikeouts and no walks, and made Scherzer the sixth pitcher in MLB history to record multiple no-hitters in one season. With a game score of 104, it was the second-highest achieved on record, and made Scherzer the first to achieve multiple game scores of at least 100 in the same season. That game was singled out for the 2015 Esurance MLB Award for Best Performance.

The Arizona Diamondbacks chose Scherzer in the first round with the 11th overall pick of the 2006 MLB draft. Mike Rizzo, the Diamondbacks’ scouting director, marveled that Scherzer attacked hitters with a relentlessness that he had never seen. Eight pitchers were selected ahead of him, including Luke Hochevar (first overall pick), Brandon Morrow, Clayton Kershaw, and Tim Lincecum. Scouting reports criticized Scherzer for too violent of a delivery, but Rizzo and other Arizona scouts decided that “the combination of his arm action and his pitching IQ and his attack mode … we were calling him ‘Mad Max’ in the draft room. He came at you. He looked angry. He looked mad.”
The Diamondbacks selected Scherzer in the first round and 11th overall of the 2006 amateur draft from the University of Missouri. A seven-time MLB All-Star, he is the fifth pitcher to start an All-Star Game for both the American and National Leagues.

One the most consistent hurlers of his era, he has made at least 30 starts each season from 2009 to 2018, and struck out at least 230 batters in each season from 2012 to 2018. In 2018, he reached 300 strikeouts for the first time.

On April 29, 2008, Scherzer made his MLB debut against the Houston Astros when he came on in relief and threw 4⁄3 perfect innings while striking out seven. While doing so he set the record for the number of consecutive batters retired (13) for a pitcher making his MLB debut as a reliever. The previous record was 12 set in 1962 by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Pete Richert. The seven strikeouts were one short of the major-league record for most in a debut relief appearance. The Pittsburgh Pirates’ Barry Jones had eight on April 20, 1986. On April 30, 2008, the Diamondbacks announced he would be placed into the starting rotation, due to his impressive debut. In his first appearance as a starter for the D-Backs, Scherzer allowed five runs (two earned) in four innings, while striking out five, taking the first loss of his major league career.
