Tired of simply being the best pitcher in the world, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw decided to start stealing bases last night.
After reaching first base on a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning, Kershaw took off for second base on Carlos Martinez’s third pitch to Dee Gordon … and made it standing up, without a throw, when the pitch bounced away from the catcher.
It was the first stolen base of Kershaw’s career. Obviously.
Martinez gave zero effort to hold on Kershaw, so the big left-hander got a nice walking lead and just took off.
Also: There are 70 different position players with at least 150 plate appearances this season and zero steals.
