Kershaw thoughts?

I have enough for him, trying to decide if I get him.
-
One of the best starters again this year. If you have enough for him and nothing else you need then I say for sure go for it. You won't be disappointed and if you took the other boss for that inning then all you have to do is earn the 3rd boss out of the 11th inning and you will get 30k in stubs for looking all 3 in I believe.

He is great. My favorite pitcher in this game his pitch mix is great if your mixing them up right you will start making guys look silly chasing sliders and taking fastballs
-
Great pitcher and is probably one of the better upgrades in terms of when you get his prestige, that extra MPH on the fastball really helps.
-
He's good. His slider is great, I just don't throw his changeup in the zone

I agree completely my success with this card started when I scrapped the idea of ever using that change up
-
I didn't like him a ton at first but I stuck with him, prestiged him, and think he's pretty [censored] good now.
-
Prestiged is really great, wait until people get close to 800 stars in the program, his value will decrease a lot

I'm so lost on how anyone is good with this card. His ERA in 2 RS games for me was nearly 9. I tried using him more in the past event and all it did was get worse. I will say I was stuck at AS levels when I used him in RS, but I've had a slightly above 2 ERA with Paxton POTM and now a below 2 ERA with prestiged Paxton. Not the exact same card, but similar. I faced prestiged Kershaw in the event as well and he didn't seem any harder to hit. I'd LOVE to be able to use him, so what's the trick? Also, please don't say tunnel his pitches because I've done that and had people doing it with him pretty well, but his stuff just doesn't seem to miss bats at all.

I’ve had success with his card by changing speeds a lot, I use his slider as if it was his primary pitch and his curve ball as an out pitch in stadiums with little elevation
-
If you can use his slider effectively you could do good with him . I find his slider to be his key pitch to keep opponents off balance and guessing . he can be hit or miss at times though with opponents who don’t struggle vs the slider inside and in with Righty hitters .

You really have to abuse the slider and throw is to all quadrants. That will make his fastball, when used, look that much faster. I also find that pitching up in the zone with him better than low
