Baseball will look a lot different in 2023 compared to past years. Between the pitch clock, bigger bases, and a ban on shifts, the first weekend of spring training games was interesting while players began the adjustment process. Someone who looked right at home was Mets starting pitcher, Max Scherzer.
His first appearance of the year came against the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon. New York eventually won the contest by a score of 6-3, and Scherzer looked sharp. In two innings, the right-hander allowed one run on three hits and five strikeouts.
None of this is shocking news.
