'Mad Max' Scherzer still starting? He's the real 'Mad Max' → Added KKKK to rank 10th alone in all-time strikeouts

Max Scherzer, nicknamed 'Mad Max,' has etched his name further into Major League Baseball history, ascending to sole possession of 10th place on the all-time strikeouts list. The Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, born in 1984, reached this significant milestone during his recent start against the Philadelphia Phillies.

In the game played at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park, Scherzer took the mound as a starter. He pitched 5⅔ innings, striking out four batters and conceding two runs. This performance was enough to propel him past previous benchmarks and secure his new standing among the league's most dominant pitchers in terms of strikeouts.

The article also draws a comparison between the veteran American pitcher and Noh Kyung-eun, the oldest pitcher currently active in the KBO League (South Korea's professional baseball league). Both Scherzer and Noh were born in the same year, 1984, highlighting the longevity and enduring careers of these baseball veterans.
