Former Dodgers General Manager Reacts to Clayton Kershaw's Milestone Win

The guy that drafted Kersh has some warm thoughts about the ace.

Tuesday night was a special one for Dodgers fans. The GOAT, Clayton Kershaw, got win number 200 of his Hall of Fame career. And he did it in vintage fashion with 7 scoreless innings against the powerhouse Mets (a team he's dominated in his career in the regular season).

While Kersh talked after the game about his teammates telling him things that "made him uncomfortable" -- note, these are good things -- the love was also pouring in online. And one person who chimed in with nice words is the guy that drafted Clayton. Former Dodgers GM Ned Colletti.

The long-time exec took to Twitter to share his appreciation and congratulations for the accomplishment.

Colletti drafted Kershaw out of high school with the 7th overall pick in the 2007 MLB draft. Since then, all the ace has done is rack up accolade after accolade.

Pitching Triple Crown

And now 200 wins, all with the Los Angeles Dodgers. His long-time friend and catcher Austin Barnes shared his thoughts on Kershaw.

"200 wins is so many wins. It's a special, special accomplishment. He's a special pitcher. He's not even really that old, but he's been doing it for a long time."

We know Kershaw has plenty left in the tank but we're not sure when he's going to decide to pack it in and call it a career. So Dodgers fans, enjoy number 22 while you can.

Oh, and another note... he moved into sole possession of the 22nd spot on the all-time strikeout leaderboard in baseball history.
