Clayton Kershaw’s Race to 3,000 Strikeouts: Is the Era of Dominant Pitching Coming to an End?
He needs just three more punchouts to reach the mark, meaning it likely will happen in front of an adoring home crowd at Dodger Stadium when Los Angeles hosts the Chicago White Sox. Kershaw would become just the 20th pitcher in MLB history — and one of three active pitchers along with Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer — to hit the milestone.
It’s a time for celebration. It’s also a time for wistful contemplation.
Are we nearing the end of these kinds of career celebrations — particularly for pitchers?
