Clayton Kershaw is getting set for his second start of spring training on Wednesday, taking on the Colorado Rockies at Camelback Ranch. His first one wasn’t his most dominant outing, allowing three runs and five hits in three innings, but it was his first time pitching in a while, and his first real introduction to the new rules.
While Kershaw said the pitch clock didn’t bother him in his first start, he did say it was a bit of a distraction, as he found himself looking at it too often. But Kershaw will continue to get reps at spring training with the clock and the rest of the new rules, before starting year 16 with the Dodgers.
