Clayton Kershaw is "The Ace Pitcher" in LA Dogers.
His records are a bit hesitant this year but as we look at
past records, he is one of the most amazing pitchers in
Major League Baseball.
Kershaw's pitching style relies on deception. He keeps
the ball hidden so that it is hard for the batter to pick up
the ball and has a consistent overhand delivery on all of
his pitches.
His "f0our-seam fastball" which can sit anywhere from
<148 km/h ~ 153 km/h>
and "12-6 curveball" between
<116 km/h ~ 112 km/h>
are the killer skills.
Also he has great control over his pitches.
Average base on balls ratio is about
2-2.5 per 9 innings.
He recorded 4.26 ERA in his debut season
at 2008 but it drops to the amazing "1.77"
at 2014 season.
The most amazing record of him is that
he wins 21 games in 2011 and 2014.
Another reason for his popularity is that
he donates a lot and participates in
volunteer works with his wife occasionally.
