Who’s a Better Starting pitcher: Felix Hernandez or Clayton Kershaw?

They are the most fearable pitchers of all time.  Both have their own share of no-hitters. No let’s look deeply into their statistics.

             Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw is the best starting pitcher in the national league.  As of 2014, he has won two Cy Young Awards and is a candidate for the 2014 award.  The Cy Young Award is an award for the best pitcher in the league.  In 2014, Clayton threw a dominant no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies.  He also is a four time all-star.

            Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez is one of the best starting pitchers in the American league.  Like Kershaw, he also has a no-hitter.  He has only one Cy Young Award and that was in 2010.  He strikes out over 200 batters a year.

Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez is one of the greatest pitchers in the game today.  Let’s now decode his current legacy.’

Felix Hernandez nickname is ‘’King Felix.’’  His kingdom is the Mariners stadium. There, the commoners (the fans) cheer him on.  His nickname is ‘’The King’’ because he always shuts down the batters usually striking them out. The fans bring signs that say K (the symbol that they use when scoring strikeouts) or broomsticks (to represent sweeping the other team.) ‘’King Felix’’ has a no-hitter and a Cy Young Award from 2010.

Felix Hernandez is the face of the franchise alongside the newly acquired Robinson Cano.  Like Cano, ‘’King Felix’’ is also a regular at the all-star game.  He even started the 2014 all-star game at Target Field.

Felix Hernandez is the best pitcher some people say while others say he rivals Clayton Kershaw.  As you can see, Felix Hernandez is one of the best pitchers in the American League and maybe the best in all of baseball.
