The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has dominated on the mound and already achieved milestones that only a few of the greatest pitchers in the game have ever accomplished. Now in his 14th season in 2021, the 32-year-old southpaw ace is one of the fastest to record 2,500 strikeouts. Only Nolan Ryan and Walter Johnson did it at a younger age. Kershaw is one of only five pitchers in baseball today with 2,500 strikeouts, standing alongside Cole Hamels, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, and Zack Greinke. Kershaw has a lifetime 2.42 ERA, which presently stands at No. 37 all-time. Among active pitchers, he is fourth in total wins with 181, but the three players above him are much older (Verlander 38, Greinke 37, Lester 37). Kershaw is already an 8-time All-Star, a 3-time Cy Young Award winner, a National League MVP, a 3-time wins leader, a 5-time ERA winner, and a 3-time strikeout leader. And to top all that off, he also has a World Series ring, having helped the Dodgers win their first championship in 22 years by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020. Kershaw was a prodigy from the time he was little, but he did not have the easiest of lives. His parents divorced when he was just a child and before he even reached middle school. His mother ended up raising him and it was she who helped him along the way to stardom. Did you enjoy this excerpt?

Book Synopsis The Last of His Kind by : Andy McCullough
Download or read book The Last of His Kind written by Andy McCullough and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, examining the genesis of his brilliance, his epic quest to win the World Series, and his singular place within the evolving baseball landscape—based on exclusive interviews with Kershaw and more than 200 others. More than any baseball player of his generation, Clayton Kershaw has embodied the burden of athletic greatness, the prizes and perils that await those who strive for it all. He is a three-time Cy Young award winner, the first pitcher to win National League MVP since Bob Gibson, and a surefire, first-ballot Hall of Famer. Many of his peers consider him the greatest pitcher to ever climb atop a big-league mound. In an age when baseball became more impersonal, a sport altered by adherence to algorithms and actuarial tables, Kershaw personified the game’s lingering humanity, with his joy and suffering on display each October as he chased a championship. He pitched through pain, placing his future at risk on the game’s grandest stages. He endeared himself to teammates and foes alike with his refusal to make excuses, with his willingness to shoulder the blame when he failed. And he only further impressed them when he returned, year after year, even as his body broke down from the strain of his profession. The journey captivated fans in Los Angeles and beyond, so much so that when the Dodgers finally won a title in 2020, the baseball world exulted in his triumph. The Last of His Kind traces Kershaw’s path from a boyhood fractured by divorce to his development as one of the most-heralded pitching prospects in Texas history to his emergence in Los Angeles as the spiritual heir to Sandy Koufax. But the book also charts Kershaw’s place in baseball’s changing landscape, as his own stubbornness butted against the game’s evolution. The story of baseball in the 21st century can be told through Kershaw’s career, from his apprenticeship with icons like Joe Torre and Greg Maddux, to his wary relationship with the implementation of analytics, to his victimhood in the 2017 sign-stealing scandal at the hands of the Houston Astros. The game has changed so much during Kershaw’s illustrious career. To understand how baseball is played today, and how it got that way, you must understand the journey of Clayton Kershaw.
