Will Clayton Kershaw Win the NL Cy Young?
He wows every time he comes out.
Strike 1, strike 2, strike 3 they’re out! 173 times that call has been made.
Clayton Kershaw has always been a strikeout machine but this year he’s just wicked.
He’s learned how to not walk so many batters and to pitch deeper into games, Kershaw has definitely become the Dodgers ace (and the Dodgers were stupid not to extend him before the season)
In the National League…
He’s 6th in ERA (2.72)
2nd in WHIP (1.04), which is a testament to his improved command and control.
Tied for 1st in wins (12) on a team with only 47 wins, that’s 25% of the teams wins, more so than any of the top 10 pitchers in the NL
First in strikeouts not only in the NL but in the AL as well
2nd in innings pitched
Has given up only 118 hits
Only 40 walks
Kershaw has also been on a roll like no one else.
In July in 35 innings he had 45 strikeouts, and a 2.02 ERA
He’s just sick, right now he’s the top pitcher in the National League despite all the hoopla surrounding the pitching staff of the Phillies, how can you count out what Clayton has done for a team mired in mediocrity like the Dodgers, he’s the only thing keeping the team afloat and giving some excitement. I will pay front row seats just to see Clayton pitch and that’s sayin’ somethin! I will call off a date with my girlfriend to watch Clayton pitch, not go to a movie that a friend has paid for, sit in the car in 100 degree heat just to listen to the call of his game on the radio (I’ve done this). Clayton is truly a marvel and if he keeps this up he’ll easily get his first Cy Young award.
