The 2019 season was somewhat of a disappointment for Clayton Kershaw, who began the year on the injured list and could not extend his Los Angeles Dodgers franchise record of eight consecutive Opening Day starts.
Kershaw returned to the mound in mid-April and went on to make 29 starts that season. While he posted solid numbers across the board, the left-hander wound up averaging a career-low 90.4 mph on his fastball.
Disappointed by the results, Kershaw was among a handful of Dodgers who visited Driveline Baseball that offseason. He immediately noticed a difference in 2020 Spring Training, calling his health “night and day” from the previous year.
