The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday that left-hander and three-time National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw is retiring after the 2025 MLB season. Kershaw will make his last start of the regular season at home against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Kershaw, whom the Dodgers selected with the No. 7 pick in the 2006 MLB Draft, has spent his entire 18-year career with the franchise (2008-present). The southpaw led the NL in ERA five times, WHIP four times and WAR, strikeouts and wins three times apiece. He was part of the team’s 2020 World Series triumph and on its 2024 roster during the regular season but missed the World Series run due to a toe injury.
This season, Kershaw boasts a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71 strikeouts across 102.0 innings pitched (20 starts). He enters his final regular-season start with a career 2.54 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 77.6 wins above replacement across 452 appearances (449 starts).
