The Biggest Psychopath in Sports 

His catcher stopping the game to give him an unfair fantasy football trade is just downright hilarious

the idea of Max Scherzer screaming "JUICE" as loud as he can while pitching is actually the funniest thing ever

The fact that he was so emotionally destroyed after his brother committed suicide is proof he's not a true psychopath. The man just has insane drive and work ethic.

Hearing these crazy stories about Scherzer and Grenke makes me extremely regret not paying more attention to baseball when I was growing up in the 2010’s

Scherzer's crazy eyes are so scary bc he looks like he's actively restraining himself from physically attacking you.

Max is gonna be pissed at his HOF induction cause it means he’s not starting that day.

He used his anger obviously as fuel. He knew it. Love this guy

11:04 that moment about him getting mad at his teammate then later aplogizing saying he was "in the zone" tells me max is a pretty nice guy, and not a pschopath. When it comes to these extremely competitive athletic superstars its like they become a different person during game time. Truly fascinating to watch.

I've always hated baseball, my entire life refused to have anything to do with it. One day one of your vids popped onto my reccomended and I watched it then all the rest. Since then I have been to 6 mlb games. Thank you so much for what you do man

I’d buy a ticket to hear the conversations he has to himself on the mound.

Scherzer is the living embodiment of an Australian Shepherd, even down to the eyes.

Max is an absolute savage. And for anybody still entertaining the "psychopath" question, just take a few minutes searching up how much charity work this guy does for his community outside the sport. That should answer any lingering questions. Considering psychopaths lack the ability to feel empathy, they aren't very keen on donating a bunch of their time and/or money toward helping those who are less fortunate. Although, I suppose one could possibly do this if they felt it benefitted them in some way... but I highly doubt it.

It’s a complete shame that MLB is so absurdly incompetent at marketing their players, cause Max is truly one of the great enigmas in the history of American sports and yet so few really know about it.

I'd love to see Scherzer and Zack Greinke inducted to the Hall of Fame at the same time. Those back to back speeches would be insane.

Mad Max for life bro!! Thank you Max for helping the Rangers win our first World Series....

Max is just a bulldog competitor!! He's a throwback. He's passionate, and he cares! He's like a football player playing baseball!

“Scherzer was pissed cause he had to wear dark jerseys on a hot day” Umpires: HI GUYS WATS UOP

Can we please talk about how well the catcher knew Scherzer when he offered the unfair trade? That right there is knowing your pitcher and knowing exactly how to fire them up 😂😂😂

Rewatching this as he potentially comes to my Rangers

And my Ranger boys jst got him….. I’m stocked 🤣

Scherzers the kind of guy that we should all be thankful he is great at baseball. If he wasn’t an incredible pitcher, we would all be watching a documentary about his dozens of victims in 45 years

Max could easily have been that Navy SEAL or Green Beret who is just literally too angry to die.

We need guys like max scherzer in our lives

Some of the best video essays I've ever seen, guy... Fantastic content!!...

My favorite clip of the whole video is where he has a black eye and a busted nose and he said, "I felt zero pain tonight". True Psycho Stuff.

As a nats fan I’ve watched Max for years. He’s literally the nicest, silliest dude in the world off the mound. The argument he had with Strasburg is the only time I’ve seen him in conflict with anybody. He’s definitely crazy but he’s no psychopath.

Hey I'm European and I've never watched a real baseball game in my life, but I do enjoy these videos: proof again that enthusiasm and knowledge can make anything interesting thanks for the content!

9:18 I was there when this happened! Me and my dad are both Pirates fans though so we were very unhappy for most of the game.

As someone who has seen Max in game many times, you can literally hear him snarl and growl on the mound within like 15 rows of the field. He’s my favorite player ever to watch.

Nats fan here with a little story about Max: In December 2019, two months after he won the World Series, I ran into Max and his wife at the mall in Tyson’s Corner. I approached him and said “hey max” and he acknowledged me but started to turn around. I get it. He’s with his wife and doesn’t want to be bothered. But I was with my family, too, and told him: “you’ve got two massive fans over there who would love to congratulate you.” My two sons - who still wear his jersey - were standing a couple feet away. He walked up to them, asked their names, and shook their hands. He is still my oldest son’s favorite player. I’ll always appreciate that moment.

He's not a psychopath he's just a barbarian using rage to boost his stats

I think if Max pitches until age 42 he will get to 4000 strikeouts. This guy is just a beast

Georgetown university: *has graduation at Nationals Park* Max: "I don't care about what you nerds are doing, I'm going to play catch in right field"

I did some googling on Scherzer the other day, he apparently does tons of charity work. He hosts and participates in multiple charitavle events every year, so even though he's a psycho on the mound it sounds like he's got a heart of gold

Being pissed at a compliment is goat behavior. "of course i pitch well"

Baseball needs characters like Max! Go Max!

I love how you got through this whole video without directly mentioning his two different eye colors, which are absolutely the icing on the cake for his insanity.

It might be a good thing that he can channel his personality through competition in baseball. There's no telling what he'd be known for if he worked at 7/11.

The biggest psychopaths in politics would be a week long special. the world got kidnapped by criminals disguised as honorable people.

Even with setbacks and tragedy he demonstrated what someone can accomplish if he has the will and determination.

As a Nationals fan. This guy is a hall of famer and one of my favorite pitchers of all time. Thanks, Max.

Max playing catch during Georgetown’s graduation is the single greatest anecdote I’ve ever heard.

I love you’re videos. They are the best baseball documentaries I’ve seen so far and I’m sticking with them. I am a San Francisco Giants fan peace and love.

So you’re telling me Max is a literal anime protagonist

As a Nationals fan, I always found myself to be extremely lucky to get to see him pitch every 5 days. I even got to see his 20k game in person. So many epic memories that I'll never forget. I also loved when Scherzer's wife went into labor, and rather than go be with his wife he pitched that day and threw a complete game, and then went to the hospital right after.

Max is a beast. He'd have excelled in 2000's MLB, when pitchers tried to pitch the CG every night.

I used to love baseball as a kid but not so much as an adult. Stumble on this channel and can’t get enough baseball again. Thank you✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Him having an "extra fastball" where he just screams "juice!" is some of the most wacky shit i've ever heard i love it.

First MLB game I ever went to, he happened to be pitching. I noticed his velocity went up throughout the game instead of down. In the 9th inning he was sitting 98-99 after throwing like 100 pitches.

He’s just a gamer, Kobe Bryant said he had listened to the micheal Myers theme for hours straight before games to induce his “killer instinct” they are historically both just insanely competitive

He's no psychopath. Just a determined and angry individual.

Talking shit to yourself on the mound is completely relatable lmao 😂

It's characters like this guy who get people invested in this sport. What an absolute unit of a human. Imagine if the dude had gotten into boxing.

Psychopaths express zero genuine emotions. Max Scherzer clearly experiences pure anger. So, he’s not a psychopath. He’s just a straight up rage monster.

Give me an entire baseball team with that guy's attitude, intensity and work ethic, and we'll win the World Series every year.

One of your best uploads. I’ve watched it a handful of times now.

His voice just makes me interested in everything he posts. I've caught up on every video he posted. The Greinke one was the first.

Max is a lunatic and he’s an amazing character in baseball. Players like him keep me interested in the game, legendary talent and a hall of famer

I absolutely love this man

Max is going to be the only pitcher ever who will be PISSED OFF when he's inducted into Cooperstown

Dude just does what he needs to do. He has embraced any and every way to keep his head in the game, and has completely abandoned any concept of maintaining a "normal" façade to do it. Thanks for the video. As usual, I loved it.

Love your videos! Thanks!

Moral of the story: If you're a pitching coach/manager and Scherzer tells you to let him pitch, you let him pitch lmao

As a Giants fan, when Psycho Scherzer was traded to the Dodgers I was like, "fuuuuuuuck!"

This man is a literal anime protagonist, different colored eyes, the determination for practicing and serious about it every time he ever does it, continued his job after almost dying, and even has self monologues when he's up to pitch.

Never watched a full game, but this was awesome. Great work

The different colour eyes definitely add to the crazy vibe

The great part is he seems like a fun guy to be around when he's not pitching. So glad to have him on the Dodgers

You have the perfect way to tell a story! First of all, your intro really grabs everybody’s attention in the most interesting way. These stories are so informative and i listen to this while i’m walking my dog! You definitely deserve more subs!

Man, your channel is amazing!

In this era of perfectly manicured athletes who have social media teams and care more about being seen than winning players like Max are such a breath of fresh air. He’s a throwback to when winning was more important than ANYTHING ELSE! I wish more baseball and basketball players would act like him instead of these boring media darlings who have no substance.

I urge everyone to read ESPN's article on how Max and his family dealt with Alex Scherzer taking his own life. They're surprisingly open and candid about the situation and it may help someone who has a family member dealing with severe depression.

You and Foolish are my IDOLS. Absolutely flawless video 👏🏻

I don’t watch baseball at all. Use to love playing it as a kid but always bored with watching games on tv. However this channel is great. The stories of these players is insane. You do a great job. Keep it up.

I friggin love Scherzer, what a madman. Let’s go Mets.

I gotta be honest …… everything you said about him here only makes me love this guy. There is a huge difference between aggression and passion/intensity. It is why he is so successful.

I’m a Cardinals fan. Max Scherzer is the modern Bob Gibson. Hyper competitive, a mean slider to go with an awesome fastball, ferocity on the mound, but a gentleman off it.

That's cool that his team mates respect his space and quirks. I think I understand his aversion to praise. Accepting praise diminishes what he expects from himself, or he's just not satisfied by his own performance and expects more out himself. Whatever he's psyching himself into clearly works. 🤷‍♂️

There may be some trauma in his past. I think he's a legend.

I watched him come up thru the Tigers org. I always told my buddies losing him was a bigger mistake than letting Verlander go. Not just the age difference, Max was crazy then and pitched like it too.

I didn't know about his brother taking his own life so sad hope hes resting in peace now and Max is a beast and is one of my favorite pitchers of all time

Catcher: You should stop pitching Max: * Ń. Ø. Œ*

With those crazy eyes, has anyone refer to him as The Punisher yet?

It’s normal for me to eat 2 burritos from chipotle when I go, and I’m pretty competitive. The resemblance is uncanny really, I’m basically Max

I was lucky enough to do a clinic with Max in 2017, he was the nicest player I’ve ever met. Such a sweet person, he fixed my windup and I’ve been a much better person since. He’s definitely a different person on the mound. He may seem absolutely insane while pitching, off the field he’s seriously the best guy you could meet

Sherzer had a massive reversal of fortune in 2023, was on a sinking ship of the overpaying mets team, then got traded late in the season and became a Texas Ranger, then the rangers won the WS Championship! Hes both crazy on the field, and also CRAZY LUCKY.

This man isn't a Psychopath... he's Vegeta

Mad Max is probably my favorite pitcher of all time

The heterochromia definitely adds to the Crazy Eyes!

There’s being built different. Then there’s Mad Max.

Max is a fantastic example of what's possible if u tune everyone out

One thing for sure I know about him is that he has a great pain tolerance, Jesus Christ.

I think he's just really hard on himself and (overly)competitive. I like this guy. And there's no way he's using sticky stuff because HE wants the glory.

This man is one of my heroes in Baseball and anytime I see him pitch a game I give this man a standing ovation even when he’s on the other team ,those 2019 Nationals heroics will never be forgotten by any DC sports fan Max ,Rendon ,Soto, Kendrick, and 37... got mad love for them always

Plus, he has one brown eye and 1 blue eye. I was a groundskeeper when he first came to the tigers, and was the No.2 picture behind Verlander. It was almost impossible to look him in the eye(s) while talking to him. In real life, he's just a great guy.

Scherzer's stare down of Girardi on day one of inspections is one of my favorite moments ever of Max.

I will always be eternally grateful to him for being on the mound for that Game 7 win in the World Series.

Not even a mention of those crazy eyes which adds to the crazy look he has

Hey guys let's avoid using loaded pop psychology terms like sociopath, schizo, bi polar or psychopath to describe people. Its perfectly fine to use non-terminology terms like 'jerk' instead. Why? 1st. Stigmatizes mental health. 2nd makes treatment far more difficult. 3rd fuzzy science to start with. In my 20+ years of treating patients ive never once met someone who lacked all empathy, though i met plenty of insecure men who wanted me to think they did as a defense mechanism. 4th If they slap a loaded term like 'psychopath' on their study the media and laymen will eat it up uncritically. (Dont judge, grant moneys rough and thats exactly the same thing this creator did - great video too!) 5th It 'other's people to justify our disposal of them instead of informing them to draw their own opinions which is the opposite of how science is supposed to work. 6th aint it kinda weird if a man is impulsive, selfish and angry hes a psychopath but when a woman does it shes bipolar? 7th probably going to wind up another massive failure of my profession viewed the same way we look at lobotomies, forced sterilization of people of color and weaponizing medicine to target lgbt community. Just a few thoughts from the heart. Its at least some thing to think about.

I'll never forget watching him start an All-Star game. The camera is moving around to all of the different players, all smiling, laughing, having a good time, and then it got to Scherzer as he stepped on the rubber to throw the first pitch, looking furious, and from reading his lips, said something something "fucking ball."
