Max Scherzer has thrown 49,928 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (93mph), also mixing in a Slider (85mph), Change (84mph) and Curve (75mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (87mph) and Sinker (90mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has essentially average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider is a prototypical pitch with few remarkable qualities. Their change results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their curve results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has slight glove-side movement and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2025) is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has slightly below average velo, has some natural sink and has strong cutting action. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has an obvious tail, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sinking action.
