Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale is the winner of the 2024 National League Cy Young Award.
With 177 2/3 innings pitched, 225 strikeouts, 2.09 FIP and a 2.38 ERA, he beat strong second-place finisher Zack Wheeler of the Philadelphia Phillies for the award. Wheeler prevented Sale from being unanimous, taking four out of 30 BBWAA first-place votes. Sale got the other 26.
Sale, who won NL Comeback Player of the Year award last week, is also the winner of the NL Triple Crown, meaning he led the league in ERA, strikeouts and wins (18).
