Batters beware: Clayton Kershaw's arsenal includes an eephus pitch (Big League Stew)

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw had an interesting day Wednesday in a 2-1 win on the road at Atlanta.

He gave up a season high 10 hits to the Braves, struck out 10 batters, did not factor into the decision and was thrown out at home plate in the seventh inning by outfielder Jeff Francoeur. But maybe the most interesting moment came in the fourth inning when Kershaw threw an eephus pitch to Tyler Flowers.

Kershaw is already one of the most difficult starting pitchers for batters to face in the major leagues.
