Part 3/7:
Scherzer, known for his competitive spirit, views his role in the team’s rotation with versatility. He emphasized that the specific order of starters does not define his ambition. Rather, it's about being on the mound and helping the team succeed. Despite the common narrative around managing veteran pitchers, Scherzer has made it clear that he aims to pitch every fifth day. "If I'm healthy, I feel like I can still pitch at a very high level," he stated confidently.
Addressing his recent injuries, Scherzer explained that the nerve issue had contributed to a limited number of starts last year; however, he focused on recovery and preparation in the offseason. His confidence in overcoming past setbacks suggests a readiness to take on the upcoming season.
