Clayton Kershaw to pitch for Team USA at World Baseball Classic

Clayton Kershaw’s Major League Baseball career might be over, but the future Hall of Fame pitcher isn’t quite done playing yet.

In what figures to be his swan song to the sport, Kershaw will represent Team USA at this spring’s World Baseball Classic, USA Baseball announced Thursday. It will mark Kershaw’s first time participating in a WBC, after he was forced to withdraw from the 2023 tournament because of issues securing required insurance coverage.
