Since making his Los Angeles Dodgers debut over a decade ago, Clayton Kershaw has established himself as one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history.
He has accomplished virtually everything from a statistical standpoint, including winning National League MVP honors in 2014, three Cy Young Awards, five NL ERA titles and eight All-Star Game selections.
Kershaw additionally threw a no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies in 2014, striking out 15 batters and yielding just one baserunner via an error.
Catching him that night was longtime battery-mate A.J. Ellis, who developed a friendship with the left-hander while coming up together through the Dodgers’ system.
