Is Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale the next Pedro Martinez?

It’s no question that Pedro Martinez is by far the best Boston Red Sox pitcher since Roger Clemens.

Pedro spent seven seasons with the Red Sox, going 117-37 with a 2.52 ERA. Pedro brought that fire in his delivery and made hitters think twice about facing him. Pedro’s best season was in 1999 when he went 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA. He also recorded 313 strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.923. The following year 2000 the ace would go 18-6 with a 1.74 ERA and record 284 strikeouts with a WHIP of 0.737.

Currently, the Red Sox have another pitcher in Chris Sale who’s putting up Pedro Martinez numbers.
