Take me out to the mlb game : The Powerful Lefty Pitcher

Today I’m going to introduce a outstanding pitcher of Los Angeles Dodgers, that is, Clayton Kershaw!! Why introduce him? Because I like this pitcher the most!!

Every time when I open the official site of MLB, there is always news about the domination he had made. It seems that it is trivial for him to handle the game!!

There is also a saying to describe him. ”Losing three points in seven innings is called abnormal, losing two points in eight innings is called normal or so so, and performing a complete game or perfect game is a piece of cake for him.”(There are nine innings in a ball game and actually if you lost three points of less is good enough) Although this is really a kind of satire, it is absolute the truth… That why he is called“神之左手” .

We may be curious about why he can be keep creating incredible records. The reason is simple. Because of his pitching gesture, called “over hand” which means you throw the ball over your shoulder. In this way, you could end up increasing the power of the ball, also making the hitter feels sense of oppression.

BTW, He is famous for his nasty curveball as we can take a look at the bottom.

The picture here is his record of this year. We can clearly see that he got a lot of titles such as the most wins, the lowest era(earned run average) and whip(walk plus hits per inning pitched) etc… which no one can compare!
