Clayton Kershaw was born on March 19, 1988, in Dallas, Texas. Standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 225 pounds, Kershaw attended Highland Park High School where he quickly made a name for himself as a dominant left-handed pitcher. His impressive high school career led to him being selected seventh overall by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2006 MLB Draft.
Kershaw is known for his exceptional pitching mechanics and a devastating curveball that often leaves batters guessing. His fastball, clocking in the mid-90s, combined with pinpoint accuracy and a deceptive delivery, makes him one of the most formidable pitchers in the league. Kershaw's ability to maintain control and composure under pressure is a hallmark of his playing style.
Throughout his career with the Dodgers (100-62), Kershaw has achieved numerous milestones, including three Cy Young Awards and an MVP in 2014. He's led the league in ERA five times and has been selected to the All-Star team nine times. Kershaw's 2020 World Series win solidified his legacy as one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history.
