On Wednesday night, Clayton Kershaw made history in Major League Baseball by becoming only the 20th pitcher to achieve 3,000 career strikeouts. The future Hall of Famer was just three strikeouts shy of this milestone before reaching it in front of his family and enthusiastic fans in Los Angeles.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the significance of Kershaw’s milestone and why he believed it was destined for him to reach this feat. They also debate which current pitchers, like Gerrit Cole or Chris Sale, might someday hit 3,000 strikeouts or if this milestone could soon become a thing of the past in the evolving game.
In this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan review the starting lineups for the American and National League All-Star teams and talk about the New York Yankees’ ongoing challenges. The episode wraps up with the segment Good, Bad, Ugra, where they share their weekly highlights.
