Over the years, the Los Angeles Dodgers have become synonymous with identifying and developing talent. Their major league roster is a testament to their ability to draft talent that will one day be contributors at the big league level. And while a lot of that talent has come around in recent seasons, and under the current management group, you can’t talk about the developed talent without starting with Clayton Kershaw.
Picked with the 7th overall pick of the 2006 MLB Draft, Kershaw has been the epitome of the perfect pick. Selected out of Highland Park HS, Kershaw advanced through the Dodgers system, unlike most high school arms.
