Clayton Kershaw may have more control on the mound then any pitcher in the modern era, but unfortunately that doesn't translate to hitting.

In the fifth inning Sunday against the New York Mets, the handle of Kershaw's bat broke mid-swing, which caused it to hit him in the neck.
The three-time Cy Young winner appeared to be okay on the bench after the strange incident, and came out to pitch a half-inning later.
