"Ring day, I'll be there. Kershaw will be working Opening Day as part of his new analyst duties with NBC, which is broadcasting the March 26 game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The next day, March 27, he'll be there in a personal capacity alongside his teammates to get his 2025 World Series ring."
"I don't know, we'll have to see what Lon makes me do. Kershaw also told McKain that he's open to tossing out the first pitch, though that's not his decision to make. Selecting who throws out the ceremonial first pitch is a responsibility often left to the team's marketing department."
"Kershaw is a surefire Hall of Famer, and when he's eligible in 2031, he's nearly guaranteed to get picked. A three-time Cy Young winner, former MVP and statistically dominant pitcher, Kershaw has a unique place in baseball history."
Clayton Kershaw, the former Los Angeles Dodgers ace, will maintain connections to his former team during the 2026 season start. He will work as an analyst for NBC during Opening Day on March 26, broadcasting the game against Arizona. The following day, March 27, Kershaw will attend the World Series ring ceremony in a personal capacity to celebrate the Dodgers' back-to-back championships and receive his 2025 ring. He expressed openness to throwing the ceremonial first pitch if the team requests it. Beyond these appearances, Kershaw continues his role as a baseball analyst for NBC's Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts and remains on track for Hall of Fame induction in 2031, virtually guaranteed entry based on his three Cy Young Awards, MVP award, and dominant career statistics.
