Scherzer makes bold claim about uptick in pitcher injuries
1 min read
Texas Rangers pitcher Max Scherzer has not been a huge fan of the pitch clock in baseball, and he is now claiming that it may be having a detrimental impact on the health of pitchers.
In an appearance on the “Foul Territory” podcast, Scherzer claimed that two leading surgeons — Dr. Keith Meister and Dr. Neal ElAttrache — had told him that pitcher injuries were much more severe in 2023, which Scherzer linked to the introduction of the pitch clock.
