The most impressive piece of Scherzer’s renaissance was his slider, which he often refers to as his bread-and-butter pitch. It was the slider that betrayed Scherzer on his last start, hanging over the heart of the attacking zone at crucial moments. Against the Yankees, Scherzer threw 17 sliders and managed just one whiff.\n\nSix days later, he threw 31 of those with seven swings and misses.\n\n”He executed his slider much better,” catcher Francisco Alvarez said through an interpreter . “Much, much better.”, “type”: “text”}, {“__typename: “Video”, “contentDate”: “2023-06-20T00:10:00Z”, “preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({\” PreferredPlaybacks\ “:\”mp4AvcPlayback\”})”:”https://darkroom-clips.mlb.com/670ffa54-696c-486c-ae02-87790565cc39.mp4″,”type”:”video”,”description” : ” The data behind Max Scherzer’s appearance”, displayAsVideoGif”: true, “duration”: “00:00:23”, “slug”: “max-scherzer-s-outing-against-the-astros”, “tags “:[{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”data-visualization”,”title”:”data visualization”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”PersonTag”,”slug”:”playerid-453286″,”title”:”Max Scherzer”,”person”:{“__ref”:”Person:453286″},”type”:”player”},{“__typename”:”GameTag”},{“__typename”:”TeamTag”,”slug”:”teamid-121″,”title”:”New York Mets”,”team”:{“__ref”:”Team:121″},”type”:”team”}],”thumbnail”:{“__typename”: “Thumbnail”, “templateUrl”: https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/fewrd7ogtgti3tbyh7s2″},”title” : “Max Scherzer’s performance against the Astros”, “relativeSiteUrl”: “/video/max-scherzer-s-outing-against-the-astros”},{“__typename”: “Markdown”, “content”: “For Scherzer , the fix was relatively easy. Earlier this month he tweaked the arm movement on his switch in hopes of making the pitch more consistent. When the adjustment worked, Scherzer tried making the same fix to his slider. It had the opposite effect: this prompted him to revert to his old mechanics on both courts.\n\nSimply the old slider was back and plain to see: on back-to-back swing shots against Jose Altuve to book his first shot of the night; on back-to-back strikeouts by José Abreu and Yainer Diaz in the second inning and so on and so forth. Although Scherzer conceded his only run on a slider when Diaz hit a home run with an out in the seventh inning, he wasn’t unhappy with the quality of that pitch. He remained convinced. Two batters later, Scherzer followed a sharp inside slider to Jeremy Peña with a 95 mph fastball on the outside corner to freeze him. “2023-06-20T02:57:42.591Z”, “preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({\”preferredPlaybacks\”:\”mp4AvcPlayback\”})”: “https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023 /2023-06/19/177bbafc-cf640eaa-ff99b425-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4″,”type”:”video”,”description”:”Francisco Lindor hit a home run in three runs and a double in two runs record five RBIs in an 11-1 win over the Astros. ,”Keywords”:[{“__typename”:”GameTag”},{“__typename”:”TeamTag”,”slug”:”teamid-121″,”title”:”New York Mets”,”team”:{“__ref”:”Team:121″},”type”:”team”},{“__typename”:”PersonTag”,”slug”:”playerid-596019″,”title”:”Francisco Lindor”,”person”:{“__ref”:”Person:596019″},”type”:”player”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”in-game-highlight”,”title”:”in-game highlight”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”game-action-tracking”,”title”:”game action tracking”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”highlight”,”title”:”highlight”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”highlight-reel-offense”,”title”:”highlight reel offense”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”international-feed”,”title”:”International Partner feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”eclat-feed”,”title”:”Eclat feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”fan-duel”,”title”:”Fan Duel”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”imagen-feed”,”title”:”Imagen feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”}],”thumbnail”:{“__typename”: “Thumbnail”, “templateUrl”: https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/q1ajsvgzs1f5ksxmc4t3″},”title” : “Francisco Lindor’s 5-RBI Outing”, “relativeSiteUrl”:/video/francisco-lindor-s-5-rbi-outing”},{“__typename”: “Markdown”, “content”: “He doesn’t throw quite like that heaviest I’ve ever seen him, but he always had a good slider,” said Astros executive Dusty Baker, who mentored Scherzer in Washington for two years. “It was the slider that made everything else tonight.”\ n\ nMostly, Scherzer was happy to book a win for a team that had lost seven straight games to the Astros, let alone 11 overall out of 14.

He’s obviously still capable of it.\n\n”We felt a real need to get deep into this game,” Showalter said. “Playing eight innings was very special for him in a lot of ways.” HOUSTON – When a pitcher starts struggling in their late 30s, it can be difficult to figure out why.
