As expected, the Atlanta Braves will have one representative among the finalists, as starter Chris Sale has officially been named as one of three finalists for the NL Cy Young Award here in 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Your 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/officialBBWAA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@officialBBWAA<\/a> NL Cy Young Award finalists:<\/p>\n<p>Chris Sale<br \/>Paul Skenes<br \/>Zack Wheeler <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AYmSCW6Azm\">pic.twitter.com\/AYmSCW6Azm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB\/status\/1856132049687421302?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"yjPKKl\">Here\u2019s a quick refresher when it comes to Sale\u2019s credentials for the Cy Young Award: He led all qualified starters in K\/9 (11.40), strikeout percentage (32.1 percent), HR\/9 (0.46), HR\/FB rate (6.3 percent), ERA (2.38), FIP (2.09), ERA- (57), FIP- (53) and xFIP- (66). Zack Wheeler had another fine season and this won\u2019t be the last time we see Paul Skenes get nominated for this award but there\u2019s a clear favorite here and it\u2019s Chris Sale.
