Parents and family members attending Georgetown University's graduation ceremonies on Monday probably heard a few glove pops from Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer.

The Hoyas held graduation at Nationals Park on Monday in Washington, D.C., but that did not stop Scherzer from getting in a side session in the outfield. One recorder's video hilariously panned to show the graduates being honored on the big board, with Scherzer popping the mitt in the background.

You can even see one of the grads appearing to glance over at Scherzer.

Pretty amusing stuff from the fiery right-hander, who has never been one to break from his routines regardless of the circumstances.

Scherzer is in the midst of a terrific season as he prepares to take the ball for the Nationals on Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds. The 36-year-old has a 2.24 ERA through his first nine starts. He is striking out 12.1 opponents per nine innings and currently boasts a career-best 0.85 WHIP.

Scherzer's future with the Nationals is sure to have a ton of intrigue leading up to the July deadline. Washington has fought valiantly to get back into the National League East race after a slow start. The Nationals find themselves two games back of the New York Mets.

Still, Washington might have to sustain its momentum if it wants to avoid trading Scherzer at the deadline. The Nationals have one of the worst farm systems in baseball, and Scherzer will be a free agent at the end of the season. It could present the organization with an organization to get assets for the future while possibly trying to re-sign the multiple-time Cy Young Award-winner in the offseason.

It remains to be seen how long Scherzer will stay in the nation's capital. He is giving Nationals fans every last glimpse, even in the middle of commencement ceremonies.
