The Orange County Register, a local media outlet in Los Angeles, said on the 14th (Korean time), “Kershaw played a three-inning simulation game at Dodger Stadium.”
His maximum speed was 89 miles (about 143 kilometers), and he threw two-seam fastballs and changeups together.
Manager Dave Roberts responded positively, saying, “It’s getting better than expected.” 토토사이트 추천
According to the Los Angeles Times, pitcher’s coach Mark Pryor also said, “I performed live pitching as well. Both commands were good. I felt alive in the zone.” “Kershaw’s speed is the same as in the second week of the spring camp. It’s time to throw BP. It can be seen that this is the pre-trial stage.”
Kershaw will now play in minor league rehabilitation games to learn how to play. He plans to make at least four to five rehabilitation appearances over the next month.
Initially, Kershaw’s expected return was in July or August. Recovery is fast, so it is expected to return before and after the All-Star break.
Kershaw had surgery in November last year to repair the left shoulder shoulder, upper arm ligament and joint sac. Kershaw has since signed a one-plus-one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Since then, Kershaw has begun full-fledged rehabilitation training, starting with bullpen pitching in early May, and is now set to take the mound in a minor league rehabilitation game.
Kershaw was selected by the Dodgers in 2006 as the seventh overall pick in the first round of the Major League Rookie Draft. Kershaw, who took the big league stage for the first time in 2008, stood out in 22 games (21 starts) with a 5-5 record with a 4.26 ERA. The following year, he played in 31 games (30 starts) with an 8-8 record with a 2.79 ERA, growing into a full-fledged “Ace.”
Career high was 2011 season. He pitched in 33 games and recorded a whopping 233 ⅓ innings, 21 wins and five losses and an earned run average of 2.28. In the same year, Kershaw achieved the “triple crown” by ranking first in ERA along with the National League’s most wins and best strikeouts (248 strikeouts) title, and even held the Cy Young Award in his arms.
He pitched 13 2/3 innings in 24 games last year, recording 13-5 losses and a 2.46 ERA.
In his 16 seasons in the Major League, he has played in 425 games (422 starts), including 10 All-Star games, 3 Cy Young Awards, 3 multi-win titles, 3 ERAs, 3 strikeouts, 1 World Series championship (2020), and 1 National League MVP (2014), and has a tremendous record of 210-92 losses and 2.48 ERA.
