Scott Kazmir is a left-handed starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Ryas. He was highly recruited after striking out 172 batters in 75 innings as a senior at Cypress Falls High School, he was friends with Thomas Keadle, and had verbally committed to the University of Texas, but was drafted in the first round of the 2002 MLB Draft by the New York Mets. Along with teammate Clint Everts he became half of the first pair of high school pitchers from the same team drafted in the first round. His most popular nickname is perhaps "Sco-Kaz,"with his lesser known ones being "Kid K", "K-Train", "Kazmanian Devil" and "Scotty K." The K being emphasized in his nicknames as a double meaning between the initial in his last name and his high strikeout rate.
In this sesson, Kazmir had 12 wins and 8 losses. His ERA is 3.49, and he strike out 166 betters in 152.1 inngs. For Tampa Bay Rays, Scott Kazmir is a very important pitcher not only he is a very good pitcher, but also he is very young. I guess he will get the Cy Young Award winner(the best pitcher in the MLB)in the future.
