Clayton Kershaw starts strong
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Clayton Kershaw isn’t really an ease-into-things kind of pitcher. He is the kind of guy who relentlessly attacks the strike zone until either the game ends or Don Mattingly visits him and insists on having the ball. So, Kershaw wasn’t surprised to hear he had touched 94 mph in his first inning of spring training. He was clocked by scouts behind home plate. For him the spring isn’t so much about building arm strength so he can throw harder, it’s about building endurance so he can maintain it.

Uribe connects off Kershaw
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Clayton Kershaw got through one of his least-favorite spring training rituals Saturday morning. He threw batting practice to Dodgers hitters. One of those hitters, Juan Uribe, swung at a hanging slider and sent it over the left-center field fence to rattle around among the rocks. “I’m going to have to hear about Uribe hitting a homer off me all season, so I’m just glad I gave him some confidence for the year,” Kershaw joked.
