Max Scherzer Feels Good This Spring
5 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer is expected to start the spring training opener against the Astros on Saturday night after throwing two rounds of live batting practice on Wednesday. "I feel really good right now," Scherzer said. "To be at this point, to hit the live BP, first live BP, and be able to make two ups, that's exactly where I need to be." He went 11-7 with a 2.92 ERA over 172 1/3 innings (27 starts) in 2019 and will be entering his 13th big league season. Scherzer's health will be a priority after missing a World Series start with neck pain, but he says he's "exactly where I need to be." The right-hander is RotoBaller's No. 4 fantasy starter and should come off the board at some point in the second round of drafts.
