Chris Sale’s dominant 2024 season with the Atlanta Braves not only earned him his first-ever National League Cy Young Award but also cemented his place among the best pitchers in baseball. With an 18-3 record, a 2.38 ERA, and 225 strikeouts, Sale led the league in multiple categories, proving he still had elite-level performance left in the tank. His efforts helped guide the Braves to a short postseason and put him in an exclusive club alongside franchise greats like Warren Spahn, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, and John Smoltz—all former Cy Young winners.
