Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw joins MLB's exclusive 3,000 strikeout club
- On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Clayton Kershaw, the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, achieved his 3,000th career strikeout by retiring Vinny Capra of the Chicago White Sox during a game played at the Dodgers’ home ballpark.
- Kershaw reached this milestone after 18 seasons tied for the longest in Dodgers history, while evolving his pitching style due to age and less overpowering stuff.
- The milestone strikeout occurred in the sixth inning in front of a sellout crowd of 53,536 fans, who erupted as Kershaw, a 37-year-old left-hander, tipped his cap to the crowd.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts described Kershaw as "a great person, father, husband, man of faith, great Dodger," and said, "never bet against that guy" while calling this moment the last box in his career.
- Kershaw's achievement places him as the 20th pitcher in MLB history, the fourth left-hander, and makes him a strong candidate for the Hall of Fame in the coming years.
