On March 8, U.S. time, the Toronto Blue Jays saw a legendary resurgence in the spring training arena - three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (Max Scherzer) soared 6K in 3.1 games against the Tigers without conceding points, helping the team win 5-0. The 40-year-old right-handed shooter made strikeouts with four weapons of 44 mph, variable ball, slider and curveball, made 38 good shots of 49 balls, and walked out with a high-five from All-Star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

After switching to the Blue Jays, Xue Ze handed over the dominance data: 14 strikeouts and 0 guarantees in 9 games, only knocked 3 and lost 2 points. The 2008 Major League player with 216 wins and 3,407 strikeouts (11th all-time) is coming back from injury scabs in 2024 – he shot just 43.1 innings after back surgery for a herniated disc last year, followed by a recurrence of shoulder inflammation and hamstring injuries.

"What does it feel like to finally get back to health? In the face of reporters' questions, Xue Ze showed his trademark smile: "I know what it feels like to pitch healthily. It was great to be able to find your rhythm with [catcher] Alejandro Kirk today and achieve the training goals that were set. Although admitting that his chemistry with Kirk has not yet been fully established, he confidently says: "The real fun starts in the regular season. "

Head coach John Schneider was full of praise for Schaezer's arsenal: "He can tackle hitters in all sorts of ways, and his reading of batters is a master. As the run-in with Kirk deepens, the pair will be even more deadly. When asked about the new insights that Xue Ze has brought to the table, Schneider emphasized: "In addition to the competitive instinct on the field, what is even more striking is the extreme focus on his daily training – every detail is well thought out. "

In this fight, Xue Ze struck out Colt Keith and Jake Rogers with a 94mph speedball, lured Jace Jung and Bligh Madris with a speedball, slipped the ball to solve Javier Báez, and finally tricked Zach McKinstry with a curveball to complete the sixth K. "It's all about ball control – making sure every ball gets into the right belt," Xue explained, "The focus at this stage is to scientifically increase the number of shots and prepare for a healthy start to the season." "

Regarding the secret of avoiding injuries in his 17-year career, Xue Ze played mysteriously: "I have an exclusive method, but I only share it with my teammates. This "method" obviously worked - 11 career single-season 30+ starts, 2.4 guaranteed 10.7 strikeouts every 9 innings, the terrifying efficiency of the game, left those who questioned its aggressive pitching mechanism speechless.

The Blue Jays' one-year, $15.5 million contract with Xue Ze in the offseason is showing great potential as the future Hall of Famer recovers. When asked about his physical condition, Xue Ze gave a firm answer: "The physical condition is on the right track, this is the most important thing." "As the regular season opener approaches on April 9, the world of baseball is looking forward to seeing Mad Marx mode fully activated.
