Clayton Kershaw will make his final regular season start at Dodger Stadium on Friday against the San Francisco Giants.
After 18 seasons, the Dodgers announced today that the three-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher will retire at the end of this season.
With 11 All-Star selections, three Cy Young Awards and a 2020 World Series title to his name, the 37-year-old Kershaw will go down as one of the most dominant pitchers of his generation.
“On behalf of the Dodgers, I congratulate Clayton on a fabulous career and thank him for the many moments he gave to Dodger fans and baseball fans everywhere, as well as for his profound charitable endeavors,” Dodgers owner Mark Walter said. “His is a truly legendary career, one that we know will lead to his induction in the Baseball Hall of Fame.”
