Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Clayton Kershaw has seen his share of big playoff performances in his stellar career and ranks the opposition in his most recent triumphant World Series run high on his list.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe on Thursday, Kershaw had rave reviews about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and some of his Blue Jays teammates that pushed the Dodgers to the brink in the thrilling seven-game series.

“Vladdy’s just a special talent,” the three-time Cy Young Award winner told Lowe. “Some of the balls he was getting to and turning on … amazing.

“He might have been the best player this post-season. Other than (World Series MVP Yoshi Yamamoto), he was pretty amazing.”

Kershaw, who retired following the World Series triumph ending a brilliant 18-year career, didn’t stop there in his praise of the Jays hitters, who were two outs away from winning just the third title in franchise history.

In particular, Kershaw said that Dodgers pitchers were in awe of a certain Toronto infielder who had a monster series at the plate.

“Ernie Clement … what was that?” Kershaw said. “We couldn’t get him out. And then there was (Addison) Barger with great at-bats. (Bo) Bichette was (playing) on one knee and hitting a homer.

“It was a great offensive group. The whole Blue Jays team in general, they outhit us. They really did.”

Clement’s performance was in fact historic. With a pair of hits in Game 7, he extended his hitting streak to 13, the longest in Jays post-season history. He ended the playoffs with 10 multi-hit games and set the all-time MLB record with 30 post-season hits.

Bichette, of course, was playing in the World Series after missing more than a month of action — including the Jays first two post-season series — with a knee injury. His three-run blast in the third inning was the first playoff homer of his career.

With his retirement pending, Kershaw didn’t see much action in the Fall Classic, but he came up big in a rather large moment of an epic Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.

In the top of the 12th inning of a game the Dodgers would go in to win 6-5 in the 18th, Kershaw came in to face the Jays Nathan Lukes with the bases loaded. After an eight-pitch at-bat, Kershaw induced a groundout to end the threat, the last big scoring chance the Jays would muster until their half of the fateful 18th.

“I’m not thinking about being done,” Kershaw said following the game in describing the mindset of that pressure-packed situation. “After the fact, yeah. It’s a lot of fun to have success when you know you’re close (to retirement.)”
