Strikeouts:
Kershaw was drafted seventh overall in the 2006 MLB draft. He worked his way through the Dodgers’ farm system in just one full season and reached the majors at 20 years old. When he debuted in 2008, he was the youngest player in MLB, a title he held for one full year. In 2011, he won the pitching Triple Crown and the NL Cy Young Award, becoming the youngest pitcher to accomplish either of these feats since Dwight Gooden in 1985.
During the 2013 offseason, the Dodgers signed Kershaw to a franchise record seven-year, $215 million contract extension. Kershaw pitched a no-hitter on June 18, 2014, becoming the 22nd Dodger to do so. Being a left-handed strikeout pitcher and playing for the Dodgers has drawn Kershaw comparisons to Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax.
How many strikeouts does have:
3,000
Max Scherzer became the 19th pitcher in MLB history to reach the 3,000 strikeout milestone on Sunday. With him reaching that number, it got me thinking about how long it’ll be until we see Clayton Kershaw reach that milestone.
At the moment, he has 2,653 career strikeouts. He’s 347 away. Upon first look, that number definitely seems doable at some point during the 2023 season. He has a few more starts to close out the season. If I were to guess, he probably has three left. For the sake of this article, let’s say he gets 17 strikeouts and enters 2022 only 330 away.
Wife:
Ellen Kershaw
Clayton and his wife Ellen laugh about the early stages of their relationship. They’d only really spoken while with their large friend group, but Clayton worked up the courage to ask her to “go out” with him.
