Clayton Kershaw has officially become the 20th pitcher in MLB history to record 3,000 career strikeouts.

Only four current MLB pitchers are even two-thirds of the way to the milestone.

The road to 3 K is long and filled with obstacles with injuries and potential late-career surges.

Tarik Skubal is six behind Garrett Crochet's 144 strikeouts this year .

Projecting his career over at least another decade is tricky, but let's give it a shot.

Paul Skenes would need to stay healthy and maintain his current pace for strikeouts and innings pitched per game.
