[edit] Biography

Prospect of the Arizona Diamondbacks; expected in the majors during the 2008 MLB season.

[edit] Scouting Report

Scherzer held out and didn't sign until just prior to the 2007 draft yet made three pro stops during the season, topping out in Double A. As a starter, he actually regressed during the season, his fastball dropping from 93-94 to the high 80's. Also coming into question was his command and delivery. The Dbacks sent him to the Arizona Fall League in an attempt to find out his problems and may have accidently found a gem. While in Arizona he was given a chance to close and almost immediately regained his fastball, even clocking in at 99 mph. The Dbacks were so taken by the turnaround they shopped their own closer, saves leader Jose Valverde, at the Winter Meetings. If he returns to the rotation he will begin the season back in Double A, if the move to the bullpen is permanent, making Arizona's staff in the spring is not out of the question.
