Tanner Houck will be Missouri's best ever pro pitcher

Yes, better than Max Scherzer and Aaron Crow.

On Thursday, #MizzouMade Max Scherzer tossed a gem against the Baltimore Orioles, going 8 innings strong, allowing no runs or walks, 2 hits and striking out 10. On the year, he leads Major League Baseball with 227 strikeouts and is most Mizzou alumni's favorite MLB True Son.

But what if I told you there will be a pitcher even better than Scherzer to come out of Missouri? And that you still have one more year to see him pitch in Columbia?

I’ve noticed many fans and school officials now looking for the next great #MizzouMade athlete.
