Clayton Kershaw, arguably the best pitcher of the 21st century, will start in front of his home fans one last time.

Kershaw announced his retirement upon the conclusion of the 2025 season , ending an 18-year career spent entirely with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Earlier this year, Kershaw became just the 20th pitcher to record 3,000 strikeouts , one of many accolades earned throughout an examplary career that includes three Cy Young awards and the lowest career ERA of any active MLB pitcher.
