37-year-old Chris Sale has had a remarkable season with the Atlanta Braves, boasting a 30-9 record, a 2.45 ERA, and 169 ERA+ across 56 games, positioning him as a leading NL Cy Young candidate. Despite his elite performance as a seasoned ace, he has been overshadowed by younger stars like Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes. Sale also made history on May 29, 2025, as the fastest pitcher to reach 2,500 strikeouts by innings pitched. The Boston Red Sox, who traded him in 2023, are struggling significantly this season with a 13-21 record.
