Max Scherzer is my favorite Washington National of all time. As a pitcher growing up, I admired him so much. Between his dominant stuff and dynamic mound presence, I wanted to be like Max. He had the eye of the tiger every time he took the mound. You knew you had the chance to see something you had never seen before every fifth day.
On May 11th, 2016 he delivered one of those special performances. Scherzer tied the MLB record by striking out 20 batters. Nobody has reached that mark since Max did it and it could be a while until we see it again.
