Prospectus Q&A: Max Scherzer

When Detroit acquired Max Scherzer during last year‘s Winter Meetings, the Tigers got not only a power arm with a high ceiling, but also a pitcher with an appreciation for scouting reports and analytics alike. A 26-year-old right-hander who was taken by the Diamondbacks in the first round of the 2006 draft out of the University of Missouri, the sabermetrically-savvy Scherzer is 9-9 with a 3.73 ERA this season in 24 starts.
