💨 Abstract

Clayton Kershaw, a left-hander for the Los Angeles Dodgers, came close to 3,000 career strikeouts during a game against the Colorado Rockies. With 2,997 strikeouts over 18 years, he is three away from reaching this milestone, which would make him the 20th major leaguer and the third active pitcher to achieve it, following Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.
