Apparently this will be the longest time frame between the 1st and 2nd time pitchers have faced each other.

If Kershaw can get credit for a victory in the the matchup, he will tie Scherzer at 218 Career Ws.

The Strange Story of Johnny Frederick
Through Baseball Grid review I came across Johnny Frederick. Making his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers at 27 in 1929, the guy raked.
52 doubles a Dodger record that stood until 2023 when passed by Freddie Freeman. Also 206 hits his first 2 seasons and averages of .328 & .334 respectively.

By 1935 he was out of the Majors. What happened?!?
Turns out a bit of everything. First off, only 16 teams so more competition.
The Pacific Coast League where Frederick was before and after his tenure with the Dodgers was much closer to MLB level than AAA is now, especially without any teams west of St Louis.
He was also a suspect fielder, had some injuries and his stats were probably propped up a bit by a "lively ball". Still a lifetime Batting Average of .308.
An interesting read for seamheads.

THE STRANGE STORY OF JOHNNY FREDERICK
Shortly after the Dodgers traded Johnny Frederick to Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League in December 1934, he spoke to Harold Parrott of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Parrott had covered the 32-year-old Frederick during his six seasons in the Majors, where he hit .308 with 954 hits for Brooklyn...
