The Los Angeles Dodgers kickstarted the offseason by hammering out a three-year contract extension with longtime ace Clayton Kershaw that will keep him with the only organization he’s known through the 2021 MLB season.
Having taken care of business early on, Kershaw is now focused on returning to elite form in 2019. One of his main goals this winter is to regain velocity on his fastball, which averaged a career-low 90.8 mph this past season.
As an effort to do so, Kershaw revealed that he will seek advice from older pitchers around the league, such as the Houston Astros’ Justin Verlander.
