"Clayton Kershaw, who retired following the 2025 season, is going to be the next member of the esteemed group of players. He has spent his entire career with the Dodgers, and there is no other team he will go into the Hall of Fame alongside. The southpaw is eligible to join in 2031 after the 2030 season's voting cycle. By most baseball experts, he is considered to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer."
"The ace achieved three Cy Young awards, an MVP award, and reached more than 3,000 career strikeouts, along with three World Series rings. Additionally, he has a Triple Crown, 11 All-Star appearances, a Gold Glove, and five ERA titles, totaling 80.9 bWAR throughout his career. After 18 years in the league, Kershaw called it quits back in September, getting the chance to take in Dodger Stadium one last time for his final start."

Ten Hall of Famers entered the Hall as Dodgers with the franchise logo or cap. Clayton Kershaw spent his entire 18-year career with the Dodgers, retired after 2025, and is eligible for Hall of Fame voting in 2031. Kershaw earned three Cy Young awards, an MVP, over 3,000 strikeouts, three World Series rings, a Triple Crown, 11 All-Star selections, a Gold Glove, five ERA titles, and compiled 80.9 bWAR.
