Kershaw led the National League in strikeouts three times – 2011, 2013 and 2015 – and recorded a career-high 301 in 2015. Kershaw has tormented batters with his slider and curveball and throws a four-seam fastball that registered as fast as 96 mph. Of course, he has done far more than amass strikeouts.

Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw achieved a MLB feat, reaching 3,000 strikeouts as he became just the fourth left-handed pitcher to reach the goal.
