Los Angeles Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw has thrown 45,105 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 Slider (85mph) and Fourseam Fastball (89mph), also mixing in a Curve (72mph) and Splitter (82mph). He also rarely throws a Sinker (89mph) and Slow Curve (46mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their slider has short glove-side cut, is much harder than usual and has less than expected depth. Their fourseam fastball is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is straight as an arrow and has below average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, has below average velo and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves. Their splitter has movement that suggests an extreme amount of backspin, has slight cut action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' splitters and has slightly below average velo. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 3 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. Their slow curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 1 of them in 2025) is a real yakker that's separated from their other curveball due to its big drop and slow speed.
