Chris Sale‘s recent run of dominance has been nothing short of spectacular. Over his last six starts for the Red Sox Sale has a FIP of 0.78 while striking out 42.9% of batters; good for 14.5 strikeouts per nine. He struck out 7.3 batters per walk and allowed only .73 batters to reach per inning over that stretch.
But of course, this is nothing new for Sale. The 29-year-old lefty has been among the most dominant pitchers in all of baseball every year since his first full season in 2012. Among pitchers who accumulated 500 or more innings during that stretch, Sale has ranked 3rd in K/9, 4th in ERA, and 3rd in fWAR.
