My Take
What fascinates me about Max Scherzer is not the trophy case, though three Cy Young Awards would be enough for most careers. It is the theater of his intensity. Few pitchers have ever made competitiveness itself so visible; you can read his refusal to leave a game from the parking lot. I also admire the arc: a kid from St. Louis who stayed home for college at Missouri, then willed himself into the conversation of generational pitchers. Plenty of athletes have talent. Scherzer treats every start like a personal insult to be answered, and that is why hitters still dread him deep into his forties.
