Answer
On September 12, 2021, Max Scherzer achieved a significant milestone when he recorded his 3,000th career strikeout. Scherzer, who was pitching for the New York Mets, struck out Philadelphia Phillies' hitter Jean Segura to reach the milestone. Scherzer is the 11th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,000 strikeouts, and he is the fastest pitcher to do so since Randy Johnson in 2002.
