Clayton Kershaw, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace pitcher, recently reached a major milestone in his career: 200 wins. This is a significant achievement for any pitcher, and it is especially impressive considering that Kershaw is only 31 years old.
Kershaw has been a dominant force in the MLB since he was drafted by the Dodgers in 2006. He has won three Cy Young Awards, been selected to eight All-Star teams, and finished in the top five of the NL Cy Young voting seven times. He has also been a leader in the Dodgers’ rotation, helping them to four consecutive NL West Division titles.
Kershaw’s 200th win came against the San Diego Padres on August 14th. He pitched seven innings and allowed only one run while striking out nine batters. After the game, Kershaw said, “It’s a great honor to reach this milestone. I’m thankful for all the people who have helped me get here.”
Kershaw has already achieved several other milestones in his career, including 2,000 strikeouts, a no-hitter, and a perfect game. He is also on pace to become the Dodgers’ all-time leader in wins and strikeouts. With his 200th win, Kershaw is now just one of 33 pitchers in MLB history to reach the 200-win mark.
Kershaw’s success is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has been able to stay healthy and remain an effective pitcher despite his age. With his 200th win, Kershaw has proven that he is one of the best pitchers in the game today and that he is still capable of reaching even greater heights.
