Los Angeles Dodgers: The 2010s All-Decade Team
All-Decade Los Angeles Dodgers Starters
Clayton Kershaw, LHP
- Eight-time All-Star
- Three-time Cy Young Winner
- 2014 MVP
- 2011 Gold Glove
- 2011 Triple Crown
Not only was Clayton Kershaw the best Dodger’s pitcher of the decade, but he was the best starting pitcher in the whole league during the 2010s.
He entered his dominant prime in 2011 and has continued it through this season. His three Cy Young awards and his 2014 MVP speak for themselves, but his numbers are also ridiculous and impressive.
In this decade, Kershaw went 156-61 with a 2.31 ERA, striking out 2,179 batters over 1,996 innings.
He led the NL in wins three-time, ERA five times, complete games twice, strikeouts three times, and innings pitched once.
Kershaw has been the ace of one of the most dominant teams of the decade. He put together a Hall of Fame career this decade and will continue to build on it as he enters his 13th season.
Zack Greinke, RHP
- Two-time All-Star
- Two-time Gold Glove
- 2013 Silver Slugger.
- Dodgers’ franchise record for ERA
Zack Greinke had a brief, but dominant tenure with the Dodgers. Spending 2013-2015 in Los Angeles, Greinke went 51-15 with a 2.30 ERA, striking out 555 batters over 602.2 innings.
He was an All-Star in 2014 and 2015. His 2015 campaign was one of the best seasons ever by a pitcher that did not win the Cy Young that year, as he came in second to Jake Arietta. He had a 1.66 ERA over 222.2 innings.
Greinke came in the top eight on the Cy Young ballot in each of his seasons with the Dodgers. His time in LA came to an end when he opted out of his contract and signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
It can be argued that some of Greinke ‘s best season came as a Dodger.
