Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw decided to show off how many baseballs he can hold in one hand during his off-day Sunday.

Clayton Kershaw, to the shock of no one, is having a solid 2021 campaign with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This past Friday, Kershaw secured his sixth win of the season in LA’s 9-6 win over the Miami Marlins. For those wondering what Kershaw does in between his starts, the answer is he challenges himself.

During Sunday’s game against the Marlins, cameras caught Kershaw at the edge of the dugout attempting to grip six baseballs in his left hand. Just take a look for yourselves!

That is just crazy.

In his last start, Kershaw struck out 11 batters and walked one in six full innings of work. However, he did surrender five earned runs on six hits, which included a three-run home run by Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall. Despite that, Kershaw secured the win thanks to his batters gaining eight runs in the bottom of the second inning.

Through nine starts this season, Kershaw has recorded a 3.20 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 57 strikeouts and nine walks in 50.2 innings of work.

Considering this video is circulating on social media, expect fans to replicate Kershaw’s challenge.
