Los Angeles Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw has thrown 44,532 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2008 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, the MLB Postseason and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (88mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Splitter (82mph) and Curve (71mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (88mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball is straight as an arrow, has below average velo and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers. Their slider generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, generates a very high amount of groundballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has less than expected depth. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 15 of them in 2025) has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin, has slight cut action and has below average velo. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 14 of them in 2025) has an exceptional bite, comes in below hitting speed, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly below average velo.
