Scherzer is one of just six pitchers in MLB history to win the Cy Young Award in both the American and National Leagues. Scherzer's first Cy Young came in 2013 with the Detroit Tigers in the American League, followed by National League Cy Young awards in 2016 and 2017 with the Washington Nationals.

He was selected to the MLB All-Star Game for seven straight seasons from 2013 to 2019, as well as being named an all-star in 2021. The 40-year-old has started the Midsummer Classic four times, once representing Detroit in 2013, and three times as a member of the Nationals in 2017, 2018, and 2021.

Scherzer is currently 11th all-time in Major League Baseball history in strikeouts with 3,408. He is also one of only 19 pitchers to record 3,000 or more strikeouts in his Major League career. He has won 216 games over his 17-year MLB career.

Additionally, he has won the World Series twice. First, as a member of the Nationals in 2019, and most recently with the Texas Rangers in 2023.
