Max Scherzer of the Arizona Diamondbacks

Max Scherzer warms up during a November 14 Arizona Fall League game between the Scottsdale Scorpions and the Mesa Solar Sox. The right handed pitcher was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first round (11th overall) of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft out of Missouri. Scherzer went 2-0 with a 0.53 earned run average with the high Single-A Visalia Oaks of the California League in 2007. He struck out 30 batters in 17 innings of work and allowed just seven batters to reach base. He was promoted to Double-A Mobile of the Southern League. He posted a 4-4 record with a 3.91 earned run average with the Bay Bears and fanned 76 batters in 73 and 2/3 innings. He fires a mid-90s fastball and complements it with a nasty slider.
