Clayton Kershaw vs. Max Scherzer: Who Truly Dominated Baseball’s Ultimate Showdown?
How much longer either veteran will keep playing beyond this season remains unclear.
Though Kershaw is healthy, his fastball continues to sit below 90 mph, forcing him to lean more heavily on his go-to slider, trademark curveball and increasingly prevalent splitter and sinker.
Scherzer can still touch 96 mph — “It doesn’t look like he’s aged at all,” Kershaw joked — but has also made just 18 total starts over his last two seasons.
And, as Kershaw playfully added, “he’s way older than me. He’s, like, 41.”
