Throughout much of his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw has faced endless comparisons to Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax. The two left-handers have become close and share a similarity as being regarded as the best pitchers of their generation.
Furthermore, Kershaw and Koufax both became renowned in large part due to a dominant curveball. That was among the topics Kershaw discussed with former teammate Ross Stripling on his new podcast, “GOATS: On the Bump.”
Kershaw marveled at the size Koufax’s hands and how that lent to his ability to throw multiple versions of a curveball.
